Association of IRVF with acute kidney injury, renal replacement therapy, or death
| Outcome | n/N | Crude* OR (95%CI) for IRVF pattern | p-value | Adjusted** OR (95%CI) for IRVF pattern | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KDIGO stage 3 or death | 15/38 | 7.57 (1.27–45.00) | 0.026 | 9.67 (2.13–44.02) | 0.003 |
| RRT or death | 10/38 | 14.15 (3.33–60.1) | < 0.001 | 29.30 (2.20–391.81) | 0.011 |

*analyzed by Generalized Estimating Equation
**adjusted for baseline KDIGO stage and APACHE II score and analyzed by Generalized Estimating Equation as well. The reference level was continuous pattern of IRVF. Outcome was repeatedly assessed for 7 days after IRVF measurement.
