Results Of the 3679 patients who met eligibility criteria (mean age= 61.7 years [SD, 11.2];
mean baseline creatinine= 1.10 mg/dl [SD, 0.3]), 1822 required at least one hospitalization
during the time under observation (mean= 61.2 months [SD, 25]). Five hundred thirty of 1822
patients experienced one AKI episode; 157 of 530 experienced≥ 2 AKI episodes. In
multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, any AKI versus no AKI was a risk factor for
stage 4 CKD (hazard ratio [HR], 3.56; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.76, 4.61); each AKI …
