Figure 2

Difference between last PICU SCr and baseline SCr based on AKI status. Boxplots illustrating (a) percentage differences between last pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) serum creatinine (SCr) and baseline SCr (bSCr) and (b) raw differences (in μmol/L) between last PICU SCr and bSCr levels in patients who survived through PICU discharge and in whom at least one SCr measurement was performed. Boxplots are presented according to Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) staging system status from no acute kidney injury (AKI) (far left) to AKIN stage 3 (far right). A nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test was used to evaluate significant differences across the four groups.
