Fig 1 Nonlinear relationship between predicted probability of acute kidney injury (AKI) and C-reactive protein levels. The fitted line and the 95% confidence interval are represented by the solid line and shaded area, respectively. A histogram of the C-reactive protein level is also shown. The model’s pseudo-r2 and p values were 0.017 and less than 0.001, respectively.
