Development of different models of logistic regression exploring the impact of the time for fluid volume collection on the association between late-onset ARDS occurrence and the volume and type of fluids administered

The association between fluids’ volumes and ARDS occurrence might vary according to the time for fluid collection. We therefore tested different ways for fluid volume calculation. In this analysis, types and volumes of fluids were recorded up to 8 days following inclusion (or up to earlier ICU discharge) for patients who did not developed ARDS and up to ARDS occurrence (or 8 days max in case of later occurrence of ARDS) in other wise. For each patient the cumulative volume of each fluid was calculated and divided by the number of days in the ICU (maximum 8 days) for the control group or dived by the number of days in the ICU before ARDS development (maximum 8 days). Volumes are therefore indicated as Liter or mL/patient/day in tables E1-E4. This different time point for fluid collection did not modify the results on the association between fluid volumes and ARDS development.
