Reference group is UAR ≤ 0.2555 group. Model 1: age and sex. Model 2: model 1 plus treatment (mechanical ventilation, CRRT, and vasopressor use). Model 3: model 2 plus and laboratory test (creatinine, ALT, and AST). CRRT, continuous renal replacement treatment; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.
