%X <strong>Background:</strong> <span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a life threatening
condition with still high mortality rate in neonates. Early recognition of the
risk factors and the rapid effective treatment of the contributing conditions
will reduce AKI in the neonatal period. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Aim of the Work: </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">To determine association between early
caffeine citrate administration and risk of acute kidney injury in hospitalized
preterm neonates.</span>&nbsp;<b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Patients and Methods</span></b><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">: </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">This study was a prospective study that was conducted at
the NICU of El Galaa Teaching Hospital. This study included 100 preterm
neonates who </span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">were </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">born alive from 32 weeks to 35 weeks of gestation. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Results: </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">There was highly
statistically significant occurrence of apneaic episode in preterm babies who

those babies</span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">. </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Conclusion: </span></b></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">We concluded that caffeine citrate administration in
preterm babies is associated with reduced incidence of apneaic episode and
consequently reduced risk of AKI.</span></span></span>
