BET 3: RIFLE criteria versus Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria for prognosis of acute renal failure

Abstract

A database search identified 11 relevant publications and the study methods and results were detailed in a table. The clinical bottom line is that both score are as good as predicting death following presentation with acute renal failure.
