Initiation of a MRA during hospitalizatione 3.60 (1.72–7.57) <0.01 3.30 (1.51–7.23) <0.01

When included in the multivariate analysis, contrast dose was not associated with the development of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (OR: 1.01 per 10 ml increase, 95%CI 0.98–1.03, P = 0.60). OR odds ratio, 95%CI 95 % confidence interval, TIMI thrombolysis in myocardial infarction, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, CK creatine kinase, NT-proBNP N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide

aDefined as Hb <13.7 mg/dl (<8.5 mmol/L) in men and Hb <12.1 mg/dl (<7.5 mmol/L) in women

bCalculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration study equation

cLog transformed

dIn total, coumarine derivatives were initiated in 19 (5.0 %) patients during hospitalization on clinical indication

eIn total, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists were initiated in 38 (10.0 %) patients during hospitalization on clinical indication
