Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome measure is the mean difference in Base Excess over 48 hours of enrolment between arms. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The mean difference in serum pH over 48 hours of enrolment. The mean difference in serum electrolyte levels (Na, K, Cl) over 48 hours. Change in P/F ratio over 48 hours of enrolment. Overall urine output/fluid balance in 24 hours of enrolment. Overall urine output/fluid balance in 48 hours of enrolment. The mean difference in the total dose of furosemide over 48 hours. The mean difference in the urine output response to furosemide (ml/mg/hour) over 48 hours. MAKE 30 (censored at hospital discharge). MAKE30 is defined as a composition of death within 30 days of enrolment, RRT dependence (defined as any RRT use in the preceding three days of assessment), or PRD (defined as a final creatinine value greater than or equal to 200% of the baseline value). Vasopressor-free days at day 7. ICU and hospital length of stay after enrolment (days). Ventilator-free days at 30 days. 30-day mortality. Number of patients who develop severe acidosis (pH <7.25) or hypokalemia (K <2.5) within 48 hours. | — |
