a
Decompensated DSS is defined as pulse pressure ≤ 10 mmHg or hypotension for age or unmeasurable blood pressure.
b
Percentage haemonconcentration was calculated as (enrolment– FU haematocrit/FU haematocrit) × 100.
Data are presented as absolute count (%) for categorical variables and median (IQR) for continuous data. N, number of patients; n, number of measurements; IV, intravenous; PICU, paediatric intensivecare unit.
