Significant values are shown in bold type, Data are shown as median (IQR) or mean (SD)

AKI, acute kidney injury; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; ICU, intensive care unit; IQR, interquartile range; NGAL, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin; RRT, renal replacement therapy; SD, standard deviation

aEstimated GFR was calculated by the CKD-EPI creatinine Eq. (2009)

bRenal recovery was defined as the serum creatinine level had returned to baseline or < 1.5 times from baseline and not ongoing need for RRT or currently receiving RRT

cBaseline serum creatinine was missing for 5 patients (2 in comprehensive care and 3 in standard care)
