  1. Notes: “Hypertensive agents” in vasoactive agents include ephedrine, epinephrine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and phenylephrine. “Hypotensive agents” in vasoactive agents include urapidil and nicardipine. Nephrotoxic antibiotics refer to aminoglycoside and sulfonamide antibiotics. Continuous data are shown as medians (quartiles) and compared using Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Categorical variables are shown as frequencies (percentages) and compared using the chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test as appropriate
  2. Abbreviations: AKI Acute kidney injury, LOS Length of hospital stay, MAP Mean arterial pressure, NSAIDs Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
