Table 3:

Risk for outcome development. In all analyses, prescription of potentially nephrotoxic medications was associated with an increased incidence of new or worsening kidney dysfunction.

CKD: chronic kidney disease; Dx: diagnosis; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; AKI: acute kidney injury; ACEI: angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB: angiotensin receptor blocker; NTXN: potentially nephrotoxic medication

a:

Outcome defined as de novo or progressive CKD.

b:

Reported as hazard ratio (95% confidence interval)

c:

Adjusted for gender, age, hospital length of stay. ICU during hospitalization, BMI, baseline eGFR, cardiovascular disease, CHF (in models not separating heart failure patients), PVD, maximum AKI severity, persistent AKI, and change in eGFR during hospitalization.

d:

Recovery from AKI was defined as serum creatinine < 1.5 times baseline[10]
