During the study period, only haematologic malignancy showed a significant change in incidence of AKI, characterized by a decreasing trend (annual percentage change, -65%; 95% CI, -86 to -12; P = 0.03).
During the study period, only haematologic malignancy showed a significant change in incidence of AKI, characterized by a decreasing trend (annual percentage change, -65%; 95% CI, -86 to -12; P = 0.03).
There was a nonsignificant trend for an increase in the incidence of AKI for patients with no comorbid illness (annual percentage change, 2.9%; 95% CI, -0.4 to 6.2; P = 0.08).
If the estimated annual percentage change is statistically greater than zero, then the incidence rate has an increasing trend over the study period [ 28 ].
