Abstract
Univariate and multivariate analysis was proceeded using logistic regression. To choose independent variables included in the multivariate model, we allowed one independent variable for every 10 dependent variable's outcomes analyzed. Independent variables with a p-value < 0.20 in the univariate analysis were taken into consideration, and we kept variables which were previously described to be associated with AKI or highly associated (p < 0.05) with AKI in the univariate analysis. Absence of collinearity was checked AKI, acute kidney injury; BMI, body mass index; CKD,
