  1. Odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals and P values derived from logistic regression models. Univariate models include one predictor only. Multivariable model was adjusted for age and sex and included any other factors found to have P < 0.05 in univariate analysis (that is, healthcare worker status, AKI and HbA1c). For each predictor, the odds ratio relates to the specified between-group difference (categorical predictors) or increase (continuous predictors). CI, confidence interval. All P values are two-sided. No adjustments were made for multiple comparisons.
