From: Acute kidney injury is an independent risk factor for pediatric intensive care unit mortality, longer length of stay and prolonged mechanical ventilation in critically ill children: a two-center retrospective cohort study

Figure 4

Association of PICU length of stay and mechanical ventilation duration with increasing AKI severity. Histogram illustrating (a) duration (in days) of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) stay and (b) duration (in days) of mechanical ventilation in patients with no acute kidney injury (AKI) or Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) stage 1 to 3 AKI. White bars represent Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Ste-Justine (CHUSJ) data, gray bars represent Montreal Children's Hospital (MCH) data and black bars represent all data. A nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test was used to evaluate significant differences across the four AKI severity strata.
