Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary end point(s): Days alive and out of hospital at day 90 after randomisation.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 90 days post-randomisation.;Main Objective: To assess benefits and harms of goal directed fluid removal with furosemide versus placebo on patient-important outcome measures in adult ICU patients with moderate to severe fluid overload. The primary objective is to determine, if forced fluid removal with furosemide compared to placebo (spontaneous fluid excretion) will increase the number of days alive and out of hospital at 90 days. ;Secondary Objective: To investigate if goal directed fluid removal compared to placebo in adult ICU patients with fluid overload will change the: 1. All-cause mortality at day 90 after randomization. 2. Days alive at day 90 without life support (vasopressor/inotropic support, invasive mechanical ventilation or renal replacement therapy). 3. All-cause mortality at 1-year after randomization. 4. Number of participants with one or more serious adverse events (SAEs) and serious adverse reactions (SARs) to furosemide.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End point number 1, 2, and 3: 90 days post-randomisation End point number: 3 - 1 year post-randomisation;Secondary end point(s): 1. All-cause mortality at day 90 after randomisation. 2. Days alive at day 90 without life support (vasopressor/inotropic support, invasive mechanical ventilation or renal replacement therapy). 3. All-cause mortality at 1-year after randomization. 4. Number of participants with one or more serious adverse events (SAEs) and serious adverse reactions (SARs) to furosemide.
