Traditional indices of ICU mortality (APACHE III) underestimate the risk of death in patients with ARF, whereas the Liaño Severity of Illness score is accurate. Symbols are: (♦) observed; (▴) Liaño; (▪) APACHE III). Data are taken from[26],[27].

8. Figure 7
Risk of ARF requiring hemodialysis in patients after cardiac surgery. Ovals represent important patient characteristics selected by recursive partitioning analysis. Abbreviations are: Creat Cl, creatinine clearance; CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting only (without valve replacement); IABP, intra-aortic balloon pump; PVD, peripheral vascular disease. Mortality rates: low (0.4%); average (0.9 to 1.4%); moderate (2 to 2.8%); high (5 to 6.1%); very high (9.5%).
