Figures shown in parentheses are 95% CI. ATN = Acute tubular necrosis; ARF = acute renal failure.

a

Cumulative incidence at 20% percentile follow-up of 10.9 months in ATN and 57 months in ARF.

b

Endpoint was CKD stage 4 or higher.

c

Cumulative incidence with median follow-up of 21 months for composite endpoint of decline in eGFR >4 ml/min/1.73 m2 or ESRD.
