Design Qualitative study with semistructured interviews.
Setting Tertiary care hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Participants Adult patients (n=15) who survived a hospitalisation with Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes stage 2 or 3 AKI from May to December 2016. We also interviewed five patient caregivers. We required patients to …
