Fluid balance and clinical outcomes in patients with aortic dissection: a retrospective case-control study based on ICU databases.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening condition that requires intensive care and management. This paper explores the role of fluid management in the clinical care of AD patients, which has been unclear despite the substantial existing research that has been conducted on the treatment of AD.

Design

A retrospective case-control study using data for AD patients from public databases.

Setting

Two public intensive care unit (ICU) databases with hospital courses from the USA, Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV critical care dataset and the eICU Collaborative Research Database, with data from 2008 to 2019.

Participants

A total of 751 adult AD patients with detailed fluid management records from two databases were included.
