The diagnosis and assessment of the treating ICU physician was considered the reference.
Future studies may also consider a more standardized method for volume assessment to be used as a gold standard, in addition to the clinical assessment of the treating ICU physician.
The MRS scale was also tested whether it predicts the therapeutic assessment of the treating physician.
We also provided weak evidence that the MRS results may well predict the assessment of the treating physician.
