SOFAnonrenal, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score without points for kidney insufficiency; ICU, intensive care unit. The odds ratios were calculated with logistic regression analysis. The goodness of fit of the multivariable regression model was tested by the Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic: P = 0.080 for the model with acute kidney injury as the endpoint, and P = 0.019 for the model with maximum Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-stage Kidney (RIFLE) class failure as the endpoint.
