Plus–minus values are mean ± SD. Cardiac complication is asystole/atrial arrhythmia/ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation/heart block/permanent pacer. Respiratory complication is acute respiratory distress syndrome/aspiration/tapped pleural effusion/pneumothorax/pulmonary embolus/pulmonary hemorrhage/hemothorax/chylothorax/respiratory failure. Infection complication is fungemia/bacteremia/line sepsis/septic shock/empyema/endocarditis/mediastinitis/wound infection/pneumonia/urinary tract infection. ICU, intensive care unit; PaO2, partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood; FiO2, fraction of inspired oxygen; AKIN, AKI network.

a

P value for trend comparison across all three groups.

b

P<0.02 was considered significant (Bonferonni correction) for comparison between AKI with recovery or no recovery and no AKI.

c

Hemodynamics at time of anesthesia induction.

d

P<0.02 was considered significant (Bonferonni correction) for comparison between AKI with recovery and AKI with no recovery.
