RIFLE distribution per day of ECMO treatment grouped according to survival. The distribution of RIFLE categories on each ECMO day for patients who survived until intensive care unit (ICU) discharge compared with patients who did not survive until ICU discharge. 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. Differences in RIFLE distribution per ECMO day between survivors and nonsurvivors were assessed by using Mann-Whitney U tests; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. Survivors generally had a better RIFLE category throughout ECMO. ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; ICU, intensive care unit; RIFLE, Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-stage renal disease; SCr, serum creatinine.
