Survival curves for patients with improvement in renal function persistent at discharge (persistent-IRF), transient improvement in renal function no longer present at discharge (transient-IRF), and no improvement in renal function (no IRF). IRF: Improved renal function. IRF defined as a ≥20% improvement in glomerular filtration rate. Survival curves are adjusted for discharge glomerular filtration rate. P=0.032 for the difference in mortality between patients with persistent-IRF and transient-IRF.
