The risk of AKI and severe AKI on the basis of urinary cystatin C. AKI, acute kidney injury; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio. Urinary cystatin C as a dichotomous variable based on the cutoff of 1.26Â mg/g urinary creatinine. AKI developed during the pediatric intensive care unit stay was defined by KDIGO criteria. Severe AKI was defined as KDIGO stage 2 or 3. aAdjusted for body weight, sex, illness severity assessed by the pediatric risk of mortality III score, sepsis, multi-organ dysfunction syndrome, shock/disseminated intravascular coagulation, and the use of mechanical ventilation, furosemide, and steroid
