Table 3. Secondary objectivesa.
AKI: acute kidney injury; SID: strong ion difference.
aPlus-minus values represents mean ± standard deviation.bChi-square test.cThere were 25 subjects in Hartmann’s group and 22 subjects in high SID group died before the follow-up blood for renal profiles were taken,thus was excluded from the analysis for AKI incidence. Therefore, there were 54 subjects in Hartmann’s group and 56 subjects in high SID groupwere analysed for AKI incidence.dTotal number of 40 subjects in Hartmann’s group and 46 subjects in high SID group were analysed for length of stay after excluding those whodied during hospital stay.
