Schematic diagram illustrating baseline (admission) values and trajectories of C-reactive protein by class. Circles represent classes identified by latent profile analysis, with a cross-sectional area proportional to the number of patients in each group and position on the diagram determined by the relative values of baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) on the x-axis and 2-day rate of change on the y-axis (the scale representing the minimum to maximum observed among all groups). *Acute kidney injury was defined according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes definition [11].
