Baby NINJA (Nephrotoxic Injury Negated by Just-in-Time Action): reduction of nephrotoxic medication-associated acute kidney injury in the neonatal intensive care unit.
The purpose of this study was to test if acute kidney injury (AKI) is preventable in patients in the neonatal intensive care unit and if infants at high-risk of nephrotoxic medication-induced AKI can be identified using a systematic surveillance program previously used in the pediatric non-intensive care unit setting. The authors concluded that a systematic surveillance program to identify high-risk infants can prevent nephrotoxic-induced AKI and has the potential to prevent short and long-term consequences of AKI in critically ill infants.

Two-state collaborative study of a multifaceted intervention to decrease ventilator-associated events.
Given strong national interest in improving ventilated patient care, the National Institute of Health and AHRQ funded a two-state collaborative to reduce ventilator-associated events. The researchers described the collaborative's impact on ventilator-associated event rates in 56 ICUs. They found that compliance with all evidence-based interventions improved over the course of the collaborative. This study is the largest to date affirming that best practices can prevent ventilator-associated events.
