Degree of Acute Kidney Injury before Dialysis Initiation and Hospital Mortality in Critically Ill Patients

<table>Standardized mortality rate (SMR) in AKI requiring dialysis by degree of creatinine elevation, stratified by severity of illness on ICU admission. (group (Grp) I: 0.3 mg/dL to &lt;2 time increase; II: ≥2 to &lt;3 times increase; III: &gt;3 times increase; IV: &lt;0.3 mg/dL increase in creatinine before dialysis initiation; predicted mortality on ICU admission: &lt;10%—<i>n</i>, 728; 10–30%—<i>n</i>, 765; &gt; 30%, <i>n</i>, 1,251). </table>
