Figure 3

Kaplan-Meier survival curves stratified by RIFLE category. All patients are stratified according to the highest RIFLE score attained during ECMO. Kaplan-Meier analysis estimates, for each RIFLE category, the rate of survival until intensive care unit (ICU) discharge among all patients after the cessation of ECMO. RIFLE categories Risk, Injury, and Failure were defined as, respectively, SCr above 150%, 200%, and 300%, of the median of age-specific SCr reference values. The differences between the Failure category and each of the other RIFLE categories are significant (all P < 0.001; Log-Rank test). No significant differences were found between the Non-AKI, Risk, and Injury categories. ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; ICU, intensive care unit; RIFLE, Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-stage renal disease; SCr, serum creatinine.
