  • *p Value <0.05 based on χ2 tests, comparing categories within stratification.

  • †Heat strain estimated by PSI=5×(peak core temperature−base core temperature)/(39.5−base core temperature)+5×(peak hr−base hr)/(220−age)−base hr).

  • ‡Volume depletion estimated by per cent change in body mass (postshift weight−preshift weight)×100/preshift weight.

  • §Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes.

  • ¶AKI as dichotomous variable (stage 1 or 2 vs no injury).

  • **Stage 1 classified based on meeting at least one of the criteria.

  • AKI, acute kidney injury; hr, heart rate; PSI, physiological strain index.
