Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier analysis of all-cause patient survival during a 5-year period after revascularization procedure compares three patient groups: acute kidney injury (AKI), no AKI, and those whose AKI status is not determined after the revascularization procedure. The survival pattern for the no-AKI group is similar to those whose AKI status was not determined, with both being significantly better than those with postoperative AKI. The numbers of the patients at risk are shown underneath the Fig. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2015 61, 720-727DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2014.10.020) Copyright © 2015 Terms and Conditions
