Christian Brun-Buisson, Junfeng Sun, Charles Natanson

• Dr Annane and colleagues1 reported that 28-day mortality (primary end point) did not significantly differ between patients with hypovolemic shock assigned to various colloid fluid therapies (69% of whom received hydroxyethyl starch) vs crystalloid fluid therapies. They also reported that 90-day mortality (one of many secondary end points) was significantly higher with crystalloids.
