Sensitivity analysis according AKI complications
| Complication | Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval) | P |
|---|---|---|
| Metabolic acidosis | ||
| Yes (n=882) | 0.70 (0.53 to 0.92) | 0.01 |
| No (n=122) | 0.70 (0.44 to 3.37) | 0.70 |
| Hyperkalemia | ||
| Yes (n=354) | 0.55 (0.35 to 0.85) | 0.01 |
| No (n=650) | 0.91 (0.57 to 1.25) | 0.44 |
| Azotemia | ||
| Yes (n=579) | 0.57 (0.40 to 0.81) | 0.002 |
| No (n=425) | 1.05 (0.68 to 1.63) | 0.81 |
| Excessive cumulative fluid balance | ||
| Yes (n=611) | 0.60 (0.40 to 0.88) | 0.003 |
| No (n=393) | 1.10 (0.55 to 2.17) | 0.79 |
| Overall (n=1004) | 0.72 (0.55 to 0.95) | 0.02 |
An unadjusted odds ratio is shown for hospital mortality after propensity score matching. RRT was not associated with better hospital survival in patients without AKI-related complications.
