APACHE III, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; SCr, serum creatinine; LASSO, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator; ACT, age, cirrhosis, and sTNFR-1; —, not available; sTNFR-1, soluble TNR receptor-1.

a

LASSO model includes age, sex, white race, smoking, diabetes mellitus, CKD, cirrhosis, Angipoietin-2/angiopoietin-1, IL-8, IL-6, soluble FAS, sTNFR-1, and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule. CKD unavailable in the external validation cohort to calculate LASSO c-statistic.

b

ACT model includes age, cirrhosis, and sTNFR-1.
