Gray-shaded area indicates mean and SD of urine specific gravity and urine osmolality. Gray-shaded area, boldfaced text, indicates diagnosis as likely dehydrated or very likely dehydrated. Unshaded area include comparisons of different number of WUT criteria (eg, 0 vs 1 WUT criterion) in urine specific gravity and urine osmolality with ES, and 95% CIs. Blue-shaded area highlights significant differences (P ≤ 0.05).
