Table 3. Sequentially adjusted models examining the impact of documentation on 30-day mortality.
| Impact of Documentation on 30-day mortality | OR | p |
|---|---|---|
| Unadjusted | 1.65 (1.45 – 1.87) | < 0.001 |
| Above + age, gender, race, year of admission | 1.69 (1.48 – 1.92) | < 0.001 |
| Above + surgical + ICU | 1.44 (1.26 – 1.65) | < 0.001 |
| Above + malignancy, CHF, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, pulmonary disease | 1.35 (1.17 – 1.55) | < 0.001 |
| Above + baseline creatinine, peak creatinine, time to doubling of creatinine, nadir bicarbonate, peak BUN, peak potassium, nadir sodium | 0.94 (0.80 – 1.11) | 0.45 |
| Above + peak SOFA Score | 0.81 (0.68 – 0.96) | 0.02 |
Logistic regression examining the association of AKI Documentation on 30-day Mortality. Sequential adjustment evidences protective effect of AKI documentation. Final model includes all covariates identified as significant in unadjusted models of mortality. ICU = intensive care unit; SOFA = sequential organ failure assessment; CHF = congestive heart failure; MI = myocardial infarction.
