The two definition systems differ in several aspects and it is not clearly determined which has the better clinical accuracy. Methods In a retrospective observational study we investigated 4 836 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass from 2005 to 2007 at Mayo Clinic Rochester MN USA. AKI was defined by RIFLE and AKIN criteria. Results Significantly more patients were diagnosed as AKI by AKIN than by RIFLE criteria P . Both definitions showed excellent association to outcome variables with worse outcome by increased severity of AKI P all variables . Mortality was increased with an odds ratio OR of 95 CI to for one class increase by RIFLE and an OR of 95 CI to for one stage increase by AKIN. The multivariate model showed lower predictive ability of RIFLE for mortality. Patients classified as AKI in one but not in the other definition set were predominantly staged in the lowest AKI severity class of patients in AKIN stage 1 of patients in RIFLE class R . Potential misclassification of AKI is higher in AKIN which is related to moving the 48-hour diagnostic window applied in AKIN criteria only. The greatest disagreement between both definition sets could be detected in patients with initial postoperative decrease of serum creatinine. Conclusions Modification of RIFLE by staging of all patients with acute renal .
