Data presented as median (IQR).

LR-any group included patients who received any amount of LR fluid resuscitation.

NS group included patients who received only NS fluid resuscitation.

§

Statistical comparison using McNemar test for matched pairs or Wilcoxon sign rank test, as appropriate.

LOS is reported in days.

**

LR-only group included patients who only received LR fluid resuscitation.
