Table 4.

Median body weight change in kilograms (interquartile range) in patients that started diuretics during the study (cases) and patients that did not start diuretics but had similar body weight at baseline and body weight change before diuretic start (controls)

Body Weight	Patients Starting Diuretics (n=32)	Patients Not Starting Diuretics (n=32)	P Value
Baseline	80.6 (67.6 to 95.6)	73.5 (66.5 to 89.1)	0.46
Change before diuretic start	1.25 (−1 to 2.3)	1.2 (−1 to 2)	0.83
Change after diuretic start	0 (−1.8 to 0.5)	1 (−0.05 to 2.25)	<0.001

Data are presented as the median (interquartile range). Comparison testing with Wilcoxon rank-sum tests for continuous variables.
