AKI, acute kidney injury; RRT, renal replacement therapy; FiO2, fraction of inspired oxygen; INR, international normalized ratio; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.

a

Multivariable logistic regression was used to derive model coefficients.

b

History of angina, documented myocardial infarction, or congestive heart failure.

c

Solid tumor with or without metastases, leukemia, or lymphoma.

d

Positive HIV status, AIDS, nonrenal organ transplantation, or immunosuppressive therapy.

e

Within 24 hours of RRT initiation.

f

Log-transformed variable.

g

Due to negative interaction, the risk of mortality in a mechanically ventilated subject with FiO2 ≥0.60 is lower compared to a non-ventilated subject with FiO2 ≥0.60, and higher compared to a ventilated subject with FiO2 <0.60.
