  1. Abbreviations: BW body weight, FB fluid balance, Cum FB cumulative fluid balance, ICU intensive care unit, IQR interquartile range, CRRT continuous renal replacement therapy
  2. *Median [interquartile range]
  3. **Weight was unknown for 7 ICU non-survivors, 17 ICU survivors, 10 hospital non-survivors and 14 hospital survivors; therefore, the fluid balance as per cent of body weight was not calculated for these patients
  4. ***Survival compared by time to nadir in n = 598 patients who reached a nadir
