  1. Italic text indicates statistically significant result at p < 0.05
  2. IHD intermittent hemodialysis, CRRT continuous renal replacement therapy, HD start—time from hospital admission to ECTR initiation, HD duration—the total duration of RRT sessions (incorporates both single and multiple sessions of IHD), ICU LOS—ICU length of stay (median with range)
