Renal Event: Multivariable Risk Decomposition – CT, CM, CKD, and Cancer Type, The percentages shown in Table 4, and in this figure in the columns and at the top of each column differ slightly due to rounding. +CT = record of CT; +Iodinated = record of iodinated contrast material (CM); +CKD = chronic kidney disease, The absolute risk of a renal event can be calculated based on a patient’s comorbidities. For example, a patient hospitalized for cancer who had a CT scan with iodinated CM and CKD stage 1, had a 4.9% risk of a renal event. The risk was calculated as follows: (baseline [.5%] + CT [.2%] with iodinated CM [.8%] + CKD stage 1 [2.5%] + cancer [.9%])
