Three years later, we evaluated the effectiveness of DUCKI.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This was a hybrid 1 implementation study. Outcomes of DUCKI eligible patients were evaluated through chart review with comparisons made between the 2021 and 2023 cohorts.

The average indwelling catheterization rate in DUCKI patients dropped to 10% from 80% in 2021. In 2023, the catheterization rate in DUCKI patients remains low (9%). Overall rates in the unit declined from 74% pre-implementation to 70% in 2021 and 66% in 2023. There were no serious adverse events associated with the protocol. The acceptability survey was completed by ICU stakeholders pre (n=88) and post (n=77) intervention. Respondents generally rated DUCKI positively, although a minority (26%) reported increased burden to workflow.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Low indwelling catheterization rates in patients with oliguric AKI or ESRD were sustained in the ICU\u2019s DUCKI implementation program.
