Figure 2. Physicians’ Mean Contrast Volume by Deciles of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Risk.

Figure 2.

The AKI risk is calculated by using variables from the parsimonious AKI risk prediction model: sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, and race), clinical risk factors (prior myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, bypass surgery or heart failure, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, lung disease, tobacco use, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and baseline chronic kidney disease stage), and other disease severity characteristics (stable angina, unstable angina, non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction or ST-elevation myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and use of a balloon pump).
