CARDIAC SURGERY
Lex et al. (54) Mortality, LCOS, LMV >5%FO was independently associated with mortality [aOR, 1.14,95%CI 1.008–1.303; p = 0.041] and LCOS [1.21,95% CI 1.12–1.30, p = 0.001].
Sampaio et al. (56) LMV, LOS Maximum cumulative fluid balance [6.82 %(IQR 3.28–11.71)] was associated with duration of MV [adjusted β coefficient = 0.53, CI 0.38–0.66, p < 0.001], LOS in PICU [Spearman's ρ = 0.45, p < 0.001].
Piggottv et al. (57) LOS, LMV, mortality >15%FO was associated with higher mortality [31% vs. 0%; p < 0.001], greater median LOS and LMV [39 vs. 76 days, p = 0.03 and 8 vs. 25 days, p < 0.001 respectively].
Seguin et al. (58) LOS, LMV, OI Peak cumulative FO during day 2 predicted longer LOS [aHR 0.95, 95%CI 0.92–0.99, p = 0.009], longer MV [aHR 0.97, 95%CI 0.94–0.99, p = 0.03].
Hassinger et al. (59) LOS, LMV, inotropic support, AKI ≥5%FO was independently associated with prolonged need for MV, LOS, inotropic support [p < 0.001] and post CPB-AKI [p = 0.023].
Hazlev et al. (16) LOS, LMV, mortality Higher mean max FO by both FB [12 ± 10 vs. 6 ± 4%, p = 0.03] and weight based [24 ± 15 vs. 14 ± 8%, p = 0.02] methods was associated with composite poor outcome.
Basu et al. (29) AKI Infants who developed AKI after surgery had higher fluid balance [148 ± 125 vs. 115 ± 117ml/d, p = 0.016].
Grist et al. (55) Mortality, LOS Mean positive balance in non-survivors was 18ml/kg. FO was associated with increased mortality [aOR1.73 (95% CI 1.01–2.96)] and longer LOS [p < 0.05].
NEONATES
Lee and Cho (69) Mortality Neonates with ≥30% FO at the time of CRRT initiation had lower survival rates [p = 0.009].
Askenazi et al. (67) AKI Median weight gain at D3 of life was higher in the AKI vs. non AKI cohort [8.2% IQR (4.4–21.6%) vs. −4% (IQR−6.5 to 0.0%) (p < 0.001)].
Infants with AKI had lower survival rates than those without AKI [72 vs. 100 % (p < 0.02)].
Askenazi et al. (70) MV/death, AKI Infants with AKI [30%] had a higher max% weight change in the first 4 days of life [p = 0.05] and were at higher risk of death/MV at D28 [p < 0.03].
RESPIRATORY TRACT DISEASE
Ingelse et al. (71) LMV Higher D3 CFB was independently associated with prolonged LMV [β = 0.166, p = 0.048].
Sinitsky et al. (72) OI, LMV FO% had significant correlation with OI [Spearman ρ 0.318; p < 0.0001] and invasive ventilation days [ ρ 0.274; p < 0.0001].

SEPSIS
Abulebda et al. (37) Mortality Median CFB in non-survivors was 19.5% vs. 6.5% in survivors [p < 0.001].
Chen et al. (75) Mortality Both early FO and PICU-acquired daily FO of >5% were associated with mortality [aOR 1.20; 95%CI 1.08–1.33; p = 0.001; n = 202 and aOR = 5.47 per log increase; 95%CI 1.15-25.96; p = 0.032; n = 154].
Median values of early and acquired daily FO in survivors vs. non-survivors were 0.62% [−0.47 to 2.19] vs. 3.00% [−0.23 to 5.28] and 0.27% [1.66 to 4.61] vs. 4.27% [2.74 to 6.56] respectively.
MISCELLANEOUS
Li et al. (34) Mortality, AKI Early FO (>5% in first 24h) was independently associated with AKI (OR 1.34, p < 0.001) and mortality (OR 1.36, p < 0.001).
Incidence of AKI and mortality in children with early FO was 18.8 vs. 4.2 and 15.6% vs. 2.6% respectively when compared to children with < 5%FO.
Bhaskar et al. (76) Mortality Early FO (>10% in 72h) [aOR 9.17, 95 %CI 2.22–55.57], its severity [aOR 1.11,1.05–1.19] and duration [aOR 1.61, 1.21–2.28] independently predicted mortality.
Cases had significantly higher mortality than controls [26 vs. 6%; p = 0.003], even in the matched analysis [37 vs. 3 %; p = 0.002].
