Figure 1

Flow chart of the clinical course of patients until the maximum RIFLE class. Data expressed as patient numbers who were identified at each level, and the percentage of the total number of patients.

'Ever Risk' and 'Ever Failure' refers to the number of patients who could be identified at this stage. AKI, acute kidney injury; ICU, intensive care unit; RIFLE, Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-stage Kidney Disease.
