Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: In the current study, in patients with septic shock, we aim to investigate whether: 1) albumin in addition to crystalloids vs crystalloids alone reduces 90-day mortality (Aim 1); 2) BAL solutions reduces 90-day mortality and/or the incidence of AKI as compared to normal saline (NS) (Aim 2). ;Secondary Objective: Aim 1 •ICU mortality •In-hospital mortality • 1-year mortality •Severity and incidence of organ failures, as assessed by the SOFA score •Incidence of AKI, as assessed by the KDIGO criteria •Use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) during ICU stay •Duration of the need for vasopressors during ICU stay •Duration of mechanical ventilation during ICU stay •Incidence of secondary-acquired infections during ICU stay •Length of stay in ICU •Length of stay in Hospital Aim 2 •90-day mortality •Incidence of AKI, as assessed by the KDIGO criteria •ICU mortality •In-hospital mortality • 1-year mortality •Severity and incidence of organ failures, as assessed by the SOFA score •Use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) during ICU stay •Incidence of severe metabolic acidosis •Incidence of severe hyperkalemia •Duration of mechanical ventilation •Length of stay in ICU •Length of stay in Hospital ;Primary end point(s): All-cause 90-day mortality (Aim 1), and a combined primary endpoint including 90-day mortality and/or incidence of AKI during the study (Aim 2).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 90 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Aim 1 • ICU mortality • In-hospital mortality • Severity and incidence of organ failures, as assessed by the SOFA score • Incidence of AKI, as assessed by the KDIGO criteria • Use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) during ICU stay • Duration of the need for vasopressors during ICU stay • Duration of mechanical ventilation during ICU stay • Incidence of secondary-acquired infections during ICU stay • Length of stay in ICU • Length of stay in Hospital Aim 2 • 90-day mortality • Incidence of AKI, as assessed by the KDIGO criteria • ICU mortality • In-hospital mortality • Severity and incidence of organ failures, as assessed by the SOFA score • Use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) during ICU stay • Incidence of severe metabolic acidosis • Incidence of severe hyperkalemia • Duration of mechanical ventilation • Length of stay in ICU • Length of stay in Hospital ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 90 days
