Association between time of discharge from ICU and hospital mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The plasma colloid osmotic pressure (COP) plays a major role in transcapillary fluid balance. There is no information on plasma COP of healthy infants beyond the first post-natal week. The normal COP in healthy adult subjects (25 mmHg) is currently also applied as a reference value for healthy infants. This ...
