  1. Table presents snapshot of odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for developing acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to 30–35-year-olds. Odds ratios adjusted for sex, race/ethnicity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cancer, chronic kidney disease, and severity of illness. Original column defines AKI per KDIGO guidelines when making assumptions about estimating a baseline creatinine. Full-age spectrum column defines AKI per KDIGO guidelines but assumes a more gradual change in eGFR across the age spectrum and uses the previously validated full age spectrum equation to estimate a baseline creatinine. Modified MDRD column defines AKI per KDIGO guidelines when making assumptions about estimating a baseline creatinine, but for adult patients does not include race as a variable in the MDRD equation. The final column only includes hospitalized patients with no pre-existing comorbidities, as such its adjustment model is limited to sex, race/ethnicity, and severity of illness
