  • The incidence and severity of AKI did not differ between the DCC and ECC groups (aOR 1.17 [95%CI 0.76-1.80]). At two years corrected age, DCC was associated with a 4.5-fold increased adjusted odds of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <90 mL/min/1.73m2. No significant associations were noted between DCC and albuminuria or elevated blood pressure.
