Figure 4.
Hospital mortality for LR-any and NS groups matched within quartile of total crystalloid fluid volume. The x-axis categorizes patients based on quartile of total fluid crystalloid volume received after correcting by estimated weight for age (median total volume in Q1 = 8 mL/kg, Q2 = 17 mL/kg, Q3 = 32 mL/kg, and Q4 = 68 mL/kg). The y-axis shows the adjusted 30-day mortality rate. Patients in the LR-any group were matched within volume quartile to patients who received only NS. There were no significant differences in mortality between the LR-any and NS groups within any of the total volume quartiles.
