Variables considered for model 1 included age, gender, co-morbid diseases (diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease), non-renal SOFA, sepsis, mean fluid balance, mean urine volume and diuretic use. In model 2, MFB*MUV (interaction term between MFB and MUV) was also included. Only significant variables are shown in the table. HR, hazard ratio; MFB, mean fluid balance; MUV, mean urine volume.
