Objective: This study aimed evaluate the potential SOFA as AKI COVID-19 Methods: A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCO-Host, and ProQuest. risk bias assessed using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale . Result: Out 9 studies reviewed, 7 significant association between AKI. meta-analysis 3 gave mean differences 1.66 favor group (95% CI 1.12 - 2.21). heterogeneity low (Tau2 result = 0.06, I2 22% with p 0.28) results for overall effect value < 0.00001. Conclusion: has be good development patients, difference.
