We constructed 3 specific models for predicting CA‐AKI: full, pragmatic full, and pragmatic minimum models. The full model included all predictors used in a widely cited National Cardiovascular Data Registry–based CA‐AKI risk prediction model. 17 The pragmatic full model included only those predictors from the full model that would be easily extracted from an EHR, but would potentially require further interpretation of the EHR data. The pragmatic minimum model included only those predictors from the full model that would be guaranteed to be derivable from an EHR without significant interpretation of the EHR data. Contrast volume was additionally included in all 3 models, as it was the variable of interest. BMI indicates body mass index; CA‐AKI, contrast‐associated acute kidney injury; CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting, CVD, cerebrovascular disease; CrCl, creatinine clearance; CAD, coronary artery disease; EHR, electronic health record; HF, heart failure; IABP, intra‐aortic balloon pump; MI, myocardial infarction; NSTEMI, non–ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention, PAD, peripheral artery disease; STEMI, ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction; and UA, unstable angina.
