Table 3 Mean daily fluid balance among 60-day survivors and non-survivors with acute renal failure (ARF), stratified by time of onset
From: A positive fluid balance is associated with a worse outcome in patients with acute renal failure
Mean fluid balance, L/24 hours | Survivors | Non-survivors | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
ARF | 0.15 ± 1.06 | 0.98 ± 1.50 | <0.001 |
Early ARF (occurring within 2 days of ICU admission) | 0.14 ± 1.05 | 1.19 ± 1.48 | <0.001 |
Late ARF (occurring more than 2 days after ICU admission) | 0.11 ± 1.03 | 0.39 ± 1.40 | 0.06 |
