AKI is independently associated with all cardiovascular events, heart failure, and death, but not with individual atherosclerotic events at 365 days after discharge among hospitalized adults. All models adjusted for matching strata, race, prior medical history (coronary heart disease, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation/flutter, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer), preadmission eGFR and documented proteinuria, diagnosis of selected medical conditions during the hospitalization (heart failure, sepsis), admission to the ICU, length of stay, predicted mortality score, and receipt of dialysis and/or transplant during follow-up.
