Construction and Validation of a Risk Prediction Model for Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Suffering from Septic Shock

Figure 2

Nomogram to identify the risk of AKI in septic shock, based on logistic regression analysis. To acquire the corresponding scores for each variable, draw a vertical line upward to the “Points” axis. Sum the score for all predictors and locate the final value on the “Total Points” axis. Draw a line straight down to the “Probability of AKI” axis to determine the risk of AKI. Abbreviations: AKI: acute kidney injury; SAPS II: Simplified Acute Physiology Score II; ACEI: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; ARBs: angiotensin receptor blockers; BUN: blood urea nitrogen.
