- Data are presented as medians (IQR). The body mass index is the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters. The SOFA score ranges from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating more severe organ failure. The APACHE II score ranges from 0 to 71, with higher scores indicating more severe disease and a higher risk of death. Acute kidney injury was defined according to the KDIGO classification. Stage 3 of the KDIGO classification is defined as a serum creatinine level three times the baseline level or an increase of ≥ 4.0 mg per deciliter, oliguria (urine output < 0.3 mL per kilogram of body weight per hour for ≥ 24 h), or anuria for ≥ 2 h. The baseline serum creatinine levels were determined using values measured at 12 months preceding the ICU stay or were estimated
