Extended Data Table 4 |. Operating points for predicting AKI up to 48 hours ahead of time.

(a) For prediction of any AKI, the model correctly identifies 55.8% of all AKI episodes early if allowing for two false positives for every true positive, and 34.7% if allowing for one false positive for every true positive. For more severe AKI stages it is possible to achieve a higher sensitivity for any fixed level of precision. Performance increases for prediction of (b) AKI stages 2 & 3, and (c) AKI stage 3 alone. 95% bootstrap pivot confidence intervals are calculated using n=200 bootstrap samples for all tables.
