1. Identification of thresholds for significant renal recovery in relation to patient and renal survival.
Identification of thresholds for significant renal recovery in relation to patient and renal survival. (A) Adjusted HRs for mortality of each mutually exclusive group during the follow-up period (recovery to within 5% is reference group) (n=3188). (B) Adjusted hazard ratios for ESRD/sustained doubling SCr of each mutually exclusive group during follow-up period (recovery to within 5% is reference group) (n=3188). Both A and B were adjusted for age, sex, myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, congestive heart failure, uncomplicated diabetes, complicated diabetes, nondermatologic malignancy, baseline estimated GFR (by 5 ml/min per 1.73 m2 increments), acute dialysis during hospitalization, primary diagnostic code for hospitalization, and Canadian Institute for Health Information resource intensity weight. Analysis excludes 43 participants who started dialysis during the recovery assessment period. SCr, serum creatinine; HR, hazard ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
