aChi-squared statistic on one degree of freedom (and associated P value) from a likelihood ratio test of slope = 1, intercept = 0 in Cox's regression calibration model. APACHE, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; AUC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; CI, confidence interval; SHARF, Stuivenberg Hospital Acute Renal Failure.
