Data are presented as n (%), mean±SD, or median and interquartile range. values are comparisons between the NE, VAS, NE+VAS, and dopamine groups. * Using the Welch’s test; ** Using Fisher’s exact test. AKI – acute kidney injury; Hos LOS –time from transfer to ICU to discharge; ICU LOS – Intensive Care Unit length of stay; NE – norepinephrine; RRT – renal replacement therapy; SD – standard deviation; VAS – vasopressin; Vent durations – mechanical ventilation time. |
