Figure 3 (A) Nomogram with BMI, SOFA, Ventilation, Antihypertensive, Potassium, and Vantotalval. (B) The dynamic nomogram reveals the risk of AKI in sepsis patients treated with PTZ and VAN. This patient has a BMI of 30 kg/m2, a SOFA score of 2, is not on antihypertensive medication, has a serum potassium level of 4.0 mEq/L, has received a total vancomycin dose of 1 g, and is on mechanical ventilation. The probability of AKI occurrence for this case is 0.616. SOFA – sequential organ failure assessment score; Vantotalval – total VAN dosage; Ventilation – mechanical ventilation; BMI – body mass index. The software used for creation of the figure: Produced by Professor Zheng’s team from Zhejiang Chinese Medical University: R version 4.3.3 (2024-02-29), along with Zstats 1.0 (www.zstats.net).
