The clinical significance of fluctuations in the minute-to-minute urine flow rate and in its minute-to-minute variability during septic events in critically ill patients

	TIME1 TIME1 – vital signs during the 3 hours following admission to the ICU; TIME2 – vital signs 9 hours after the septic event.	TIME2 TIME1 – vital signs during the 3 hours following admission to the ICU; TIME2 – vital signs 9 hours after the septic event.	p value A p value of less than 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant.
