Adjusted for pre-HD systolic blood pressure, vasopressor use, age, sex, race (white vs nonwhite), diabetes, hypertension, systolic congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, albumin, BUN, respiratory support, ICU location (MICU versus SICU), sequential UF-HD, cooled dialysate, albumin given with dialysis, urine output in the 24 hours prior to the dialysis (oliguric versus non-oliguric), prior CRRT, total SOFA score, day of hospitalization, and initial UF goal.

Adjusted for pre-HD systolic blood pressure, vasopressor use, and a propensity score based on likelihood of sodium modeling prescription using age, sex, race (white vs nonwhite), diabetes, hypertension, systolic congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, albumin, BUN, respiratory support, ICU location (MICU versus SICU), sequential UF-HD, cooled dialysate, albumin given with dialysis, urine output in the 24 hours prior to the dialysis (oliguric versus non-oliguric), prior CRRT, total SOFA score, day of hospitalization, and initial UF goal.
