a Perioperative variables with P < 0.10 in the univariate analyses by independent samples t test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-squared test, or Fisher’s exact test were included, except preoperative BNP, duration of anesthesia, and postoperative minimal Hb before AKI because of collinearity

b Backward: LR

c Including patients who had radiocontrast exposure within 7 days before surgery

d Determined by the minimal value of serum creatinine measured within 3 months before admission and in hospital before surgery; if neither value was available, the modification of diet in renal disease formula was adopted to estimate the baseline serum creatinine according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guideline

e Measured within 3 days before surgery

f Abdominal surgery, such as gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic surgery

g Including use of phenylephrine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine
