NA, data not available; GDT, patients’ subgroup receiving goal-directed therapy; ml, milliliters. Data are reported including 95% confidence interval (95%CI) or standard deviation (SD), as appropriate; when NA is present after a value, it implies a computation of available data reported in the paper. Perioperative fluid therapy reports the overall amount of fluid includes the fluid infused during the operation and within the first 24 h in the critically ill area. * = difference reported in the study as statistically significant among GDT/controls subgroups regarding intraoperative colloids or crystalloids administration
