Table 1 Patient characteristics at baseline. All characteristics reported in the table were determined at inclusion in the AKIKI or IDEAL-ICU trial, or before initiation of renal replacement therapy*

From: Continuous renal replacement therapy versus intermittent hemodialysis as first modality for renal replacement therapy in severe acute kidney injury: a secondary analysis of AKIKI and IDEAL-ICU studies

  1. Data are mean (SD) or n (%). SMD standardized mean difference, expressed as a percentage; SOFA score Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score
  2. *The serum creatinine concentration before ICU admission was either determined with the use of values measured in the 12 months preceding the ICU stay or was estimated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Group formula
