Data are presented as median (quartile 25%–quartile 75%) or n (%). Percentages may not total 100 because of rounding. CI, confidence interval; AKI, acute kidney injury; ICU, intensive care unit; RRT, renal replacement therapy.

*

All models are adjusted by SAPS3 and Charlson Comorbidity Index.

a

Effect estimate is median difference from a quantile regression with T = 0.50 and results estimated with bootstrap with 1,000 resamples.

b

Effect estimate is odds ratio from a generalized linear model with a binomial distribution.

c

Effect estimate is hazard ratio from a Cox proportional hazard model.

d

Effect estimate is subdistribution hazard ratio from a Fine-Gray competing risk model.
