The Association of Postcardiac Surgery Acute Kidney Injury with Intraoperative Systolic Blood Pressure Hypotension
Figure 1
Association of % change in systolic blood pressure and percent decline in creatinine in the combined sample () Predicted values are derived from a multivariable linear regression model which incorporates restricted cubic splines. This allows the slope of the line to vary over the range of values on the -axis to represent a nonlinear association. The shaded area represents 95% confidence intervals for the predicted values, which are represented with the dotted line.
