The above data demonstrate the relative risks versus embedded reference value for the association of SARS-CoV2 infection with the outcome of AKI.

Variables in the model included center, age category, gender, race, ethnicity, presence or absence of comorbidities, CNS (central nervous system)-associated admission diagnosis, invasive respiratory use, and vasopressor use.
