Values are presented as either count (with percentage of whole in parentheses) or median value (with interquartile range in parentheses).

BMI = body mass index; BUN = blood urea nitrogen; CICU = cardiac intensive care unit; CRRT = continuous renal replacement therapy; CMV = conventional mechanical ventilation; ECMO = extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; PRISM = Pediatric Risk of Mortality; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; HFOV = high frequency oscillatory ventilation; IHD = intermittent hemodialysis; IQR = interquartile range; PD = peritoneal dialysis; RRT = renal replacement therapy
