The general severity scoring systems, however, are inappropriate for a disease-specific population [3]. We introduced a scoring system, useful for all patients with acute renal failure (ARF) admitted to the ICU, whether treated or not with renal replacement therapy (RRT). The Stuivenberg Hospital Acute Renal Failure (SHARF) score for hospital mortality of patients with ARF was developed in a single centre study, using two scoring moments (baseline and after 48 h) [4]. In a second phase, the SHARF score . . . [Full Text of this Article]
