Of the 110 patients enrolled in the ‘Preoperative RFR Predicts Risk of AKI After Cardiac Surgery’ study, 86 were available for follow-up (Figure 1). Among those who were lost to follow-up, one patient was readmitted to hospital due to post-operative complications and died of multiple organ failure. Baseline characteristics and renal function measures and biomarkers are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. Additional baseline characteristics, process of care and outcomes variablesand biomarker characteristics are shown in Supplementary data, Tables S1–S3. Average resting (measured by creatinine clearance) and eGFR were 102.7 ± 14.7 and 89.5 ± 14.6 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively.

The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) is calculated by means of a logistic-regression equation and ranges from 0% to 100%, with higher scores indicating greater risk.

To convert the values for serum creatinine to μm/L, multiply by 88.4.

b

The eGFR was calculated with the CKD-Epidemiology Collaboration equation [15].

c

The resting GFR was calculated as the creatinine clearance from the urine creatinine, urine volume, collection time (in mins) and serum creatinine, and was corrected to 1.73 m2 body surface area using the Dubois method.
