Why the study?
Do novel definitions of Acute Kidney Injury (RIFLE, AKIN, and KDIGO) improve the prediction of adverse events at 30 days and 1 year compared to traditional definitions in patients admitted for acute decompensated heart failure?

Traditional AKI definitions remain adequate for risk stratification in ADHF; leaves open incremental value of newer systems in prospective validation.
Do novel definitions of Acute Kidney Injury (RIFLE, AKIN, and KDIGO) improve the prediction of adverse events at 30 days and 1 year compared to traditional definitions in patients admitted for acute decompensated heart failure?
Newer AKI classification systems (RIFLE, AKIN, KDIGO) provide only marginal differences in predictive ability for adverse events compared to traditional definitions in acute decompensated heart failure.
