Effect of ondansetron on reducing ICU mortality in patients with acute kidney injury

Abstract The purpose of this study is to identify medications with potentially beneficial effects on decreasing mortality in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) while in the intensive care unit (ICU). We used logistic regression to investigate associations between medications received and ICU mo...
