  1. Means, (medians where noted). aHospital mortality except where noted. Oliguria: b<10 mL/h [21], c<500 mL/24h [23], d<200 mL/12 h [26], and i<400 mL/24h [34]. eFor Kellum 1998 [34], 3/13 patients died prior to being crossed over to other arm. fFor Davies 2008 [39], 45 patients were randomized but only 31 patients crossed over and received both therapies. gWynkel 2004 [37] excluded SAPS II >= 85. hMortality obtained after author contact [21]. jChang 2009 [27] reported data from 65 patients in abstract form; data for 31 patients who were subsequently randomized provided after author contact. kAuthor informed us that mortality was not recorded [28]. Abbreviations: APACHE II, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II [63]; Cr, serum creatinine concentration in micromoles per litre; MODS, multiple organ dysfunction score [66]; n/a, not available after author contact; n/c, not collected; n/r, not reported; SAPS II, simplified acute physiology score II [64]; SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment score [65].
