aPenKid presented as median (range), plasma concentration of proenkephalin A 119–159; OR, odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval. bN (% of total) refers to the number of participants (proportion of total number participants) with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) events. cOR (95% CI) are expressed as per z-score of log-transformed penKid and in analyses of quartiles the lowest quartile (quartile 1) was defined as the reference category and the OR (95% CI) for each of quartiles 2, 3 and 4 were compared with the reference quartile 1. Analyses were adjusted for age and sex
