I have been through about half of 1 months data in more detail- 19 aki 1, 9 stage 2, 6 stage 3
I have found:
one aki stage 1 detected with a change documentable within 1 week
All the others are based on creatinines >7 days apart (and hence median creat over 1 year is used as baseline)
There are 5 where you can see the creatinine changes have in fact occurred within 2 weeks (but the baseline used is in fact median over 1 year)
