*Mean daily dose across all days on RRT

There were no significant interactions between cumulative and delta fluid balance (ICU model: p = 0.87, hospital model: p = 0.66). C-statistic: ICU model c = 0.77, hospital model c = 0.73, Hosmer Lemeshow goodness of fit: ICU model: p = 0.31, hospital model: p = 0.33
