Flow diagram of patient screening and inclusion process.
Flowchart depicting the screening of 386 consecutive ICU admissions diagnosed with sepsis or ADHF, application of exclusion criteria, and inclusion of 202 eligible patients. ADHF, acute decompensated heart failure; CKD-5-DD, chronic kidney disease stage 5 dialysis-dependent; ICU, intensive care unit; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; AKI, acute kidney injury; Hb/RDW ratio, hemoglobin/red blood cell distribution width ratio; S-AKI, sepsis-associated acute kidney injury; T1-CRS, type 1 cardiorenal syndrome.

Comparison of demographic and clinical data on admission to the Intensive Care Unit between patients who developed acute kidney injury and those without acute kidney injury during hospitalization.

A comparison of the Hb/RDW ratio at intensive care unit admission for patients who developed acute kidney injury requiring kidney replacement therapy during hospitalization.
Hb/RDW ratio, hemoglobin to red cell distribution width ratio; KRT, kidney replacement therapy.
