  1. *Recmd_Actual: in this study, patients underwent categorization into four distinct groups according to the fluid strategy either recommended or actually administered. For instance, the classification “Liberal_Liberal” denotes that a patient received a liberal fluid strategy as per actual treatment, with the algorithm also recommending the same strategy. Similarly, “Liberal_Restrict” indicates that although the patient is currently undergoing a restrictive fluid strategy, the algorithm suggested a liberal approach. Two-sided p-values are reported.
  2. SOFA sequential organ failure assessment, HR hazard ratio.
