Bolded odds ratios denote significant results. Controls were matched on age, sex, race, procedure type, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), emergent and transfer status, previous comorbidity risk score, the admission APACHE score, kidney dysfunction and end-stage kidney disease with fine balance on hospitals.
