aAKI progression is defined as worsening of the AKI stage (stage 1 to either stage 2 or stage 3 or from stage 2 to stage 3). bComprised of preoperative eGFR, CPB time, and change in postoperative serum creatinine from baseline at the time of AKI diagnosis. Abbreviation: NRI: net reclassification improvement; IDI: integrated discrimination improvement; CI: confidence interval.
