Unless otherwise noted, values are expressed as median (interquartile range). Level of significance: P<0.02. CPB, cardiopulmonary bypass surgery; eCCL, estimated creatinine clearance; NA, not applicable; RACHS-1, risk adjustment for congenital heart surgery; R, risk; I, injury; F, failure; ICU, intensive care unit; NGAL, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin; Cr, creatinine; KIM, kidney injury molecule; L-FABP, liver fatty acid–binding protein.

a

Column C: P values for comparisons between all patients who developed AKI after surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB-AKI), by long-term follow-up status: column A (follow-up) versus column B (no follow-up).

b

Column F: P values for comparisons between all patients who did not develop CPB-AKI, by long-term follow-up status: column D (follow-up) versus column E (no follow-up).

c

Column G: P values for comparisons between all patients who agreed to long-term follow-up, by CPB-AKI exposure status: column A (CPB-AKI positive) versus column D (CPB-AKI negative).
