Sensitivity analysis considering presence of AKI according to RIFLE classification.
| Unadjusted | Adjusted | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR (95% CI) | P | HR (95% CI) | P | |
| Mean fluid balance/24hours (L) | 1.74 (1.56 to 1.95) | <0.001 | 1.51 (1.31 to 1.74) | <0.001 |
| Mean urine volume/24hours (L) | 0.39 (0.32 to 0.48) | <0.001 | 0.48 (0.38 to 0.62) | <0.001 |
| Diuretic use | 0.34 (0.22 to 0.52) | <0.001 | 0.31 (0.19 to 0.51) | <0.001 |
| Diabetes | 1.36 (0.88 to 2.10) | 0.17 | 1.75 (1.08 to 2.85) | 0.023 |
Variables considered for the model included age, gender, co-morbid diseases (diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease), non-renal SOFA, sepsis, mean fluid balance, mean urine volume and diuretic use. Only significant variables are shown in the table. AKI, acute kidney injury; HR, hazard ratio; RIFLE, Risk of renal dysfunction, Injury to the kidney, Failure of kidney function, Loss of kidney function and End-stage kidney disease.
