Table 3. Patients having dialysis or death as an outcome, n (% of patients with each diagnosis), and relative risk, RR (95% Confidence interval), in each AKI category in the Development versus Validation cohorts.
Development cohort | Validation cohort | |||
Patients with outcome n(%) | No Structural-AKI | Structural-AKI | No Structural-AKI | Structural-AKI |
No Functional-AKI | 9 (8.5) | 8 (21.1) | 10 (9.7) | 6 (14.6) |
Functional-AKI | 8 (17.8) | 20 (30.7) | 6 (13.0) | 19 (30.2) |
Relative Risk of outcome (95% Confidence interval) | ||||
No Functional-AKI | 1 (referent) | 2.48 (1.94 to 2.81) | 1 (referent) | 1.51 (1.26 to 1.62) |
Functional-AKI | 2.09 (1.70 to 2.31) | 3.62 (2.95 to 4.16) | 1.34 (1.16 to 1.42) | 3.11 (2.53 to 3.55) |
Functional-AKI: Plasma creatinine >26.4 µmol/L (0.3 mg/dl) in 48 hours or 50% in 7 days.
Structural-AKI: Urinary NGAL >140 ng/ml.
Outcome: Need for dialysis or death within 30 days.
