Impact of Negative Fluid Balance on Mortality and Outcome of Patients with Confirmed COVID-19
Purpose. Maintaining the proper fluid balance is a fundamental step in the management of hospitalized patients. The current study evaluated the impact of negative fluid balance on outcomes of patients with confirmed COVID-19. Methods. We considered the negative fluid balance as a higher output fluid compared to the input fluid. The fluid balance was categorized into four groups (group 4: β850 to β500βml/day; group 3: β499 to β200βml/day, group 2: β199 to 0βml/day, and group 1β:β1 to 1000βml/day) and included ordinally in the model. The outcomes were all-cause mortality, length of hospitalization, and improvement in oxygen saturation. Results. The fluid balance differed significantly among nonsurvivors and survivors (MD: β317.93, 95% CI: β410.21, β225.69, and p781βpg/mL and fluid balance >β430βmL might be the predictors for positive fluid balance and mortality, respectively
