Systolic BP and mortality in older adults with CKD.
This study sought to determine whether a nonlinear relationship between BP and mortality - as described for the broader chronic kidney disease (CKD) population and for older adults in the general population - is present for older adults with CKD. It found that in a cohort of older adults, a relationship between higher SBP and mortality was present only for younger members of this cohort and not for those older than 70.

Risk factors for acute kidney injury in older adults with critical illness: a retrospective cohort study.
The authors sought to delineate the determinants of risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) in older compared with younger adults. They found that among the risk factors for AKI in the oldest age category were drugs (vancomycin, aminoglycosides, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories), history of hypertension, and sepsis. Fewer variables remained predictive of AKI as age increased and the model for older patients was less predictive.
