End points included freedom from congestion at 72 h, the degree of dyspnoea assessed using the 0\u201310 Borg's category ratio scale, net daily urine output, weight loss during the study, length of hospital stay, total urinary sodium excretion, and development of acute kidney injury or electrolyte disturbance. After 72 h of treatment, the rate of the primary endpoint of freedom from congestion in the CI group was significantly higher than that in the BI group (69.05% vs. 43.59%, P = 0.02). The modified Borg scale indicated patients in the CI group had lower dyspnoea score than those in the BI group at 48 h (4.29 \u00b1 1.23 vs. 5.97 \u00b1 1.56; P = 0.02) and 72 h (1.15 \u00b1 0.35 vs. 2.66 \u00b1 0.83; P = 0.003). There were other significant differences favouring the CI group with regard to net urine output at 72 h (5145.98 \u00b1 621.37 mL vs. 3755.95 \u00b1 456.93 mL; P = 0.007), the mean body weight loss (4.72 \u00b1 1.01 kg vs. 3.53 \u00b1 0.73 kg; P = 0.02) and the total urinary sodium excretion (385.05 \u00b1 38.15 vs. 320.33 \u00b1 37.67; P = 0.02). The length of hospitalization in the CI group was significantly shorter than that in the BI group (10.36 \u00b1 4.20 days vs. 15.68 \u00b1 6.15 days; P = 0.02). No significant differences were observed between groups in the frequency of acute kidney injury, tinnitus, electrolyte disturbance or mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
