2 Fig 1 Prediction curvesa for acute kidney injury (AKI) for patients who received angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitorsb (dashed line) and patients who did not receive ACE inhibitors preoperativelyc (solid line). The comparative predictive curves for AKI in two groups showed that a beneficial effect of preoperative ACE inhibitors was achieved for all preoperative value of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). (aModel definition: Y = a + b × log(x). bAdjusted coefficient of multiple regression Ra2 = 0.50; cAdjusted coefficient of multiple regression Ra2 = 0.36.)
