Figure 1 Forrest plot of pooled odds ratios for mortality of studies comparing early to late initiation of renal replacement therapy published between 1985 and July 2010. Using a random effects model, the calculated pooled odds ratio is 0.45 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.28-0.72). Reprinted with permission from Karvellas CJ, Farhat MR, Sajjad I, et al.

Figure 2 Forrest plot of pooled odds ratios for mortality from 9 randomized trials comparing intermittent renal replacement therapy (IRRT) to continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Using a random effects model, the calculated pooled odds ratio is 0.99 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.78-1.26). Reprinted with permission from Bagshaw SM, Berthiaume LR, Delaney A, Bellomo R.
