Results Overall, 10,245 patients developed AKI. After adjustments, the odds ratios (ORs) for
hospital mortality were 1.73 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.52 to 1.98) for AKI stage 1,
1.88 (95% CI, 1.57 to 2.25) for stage 2, and 2.89 (95% CI, 2.41 to 3.46) for stage 3. Totals of
33%, 59%, and 70% of the excess mortality rates associated with AKI stages 1, 2, and 3,
respectively, were attenuated by the inclusion of each AKI-related complication in the model.
The main burden of excess hospital mortality associated with AKI was attenuated by …
