Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Prevalence of dehydration (as defined as urinary osmolality > 800 mOsmol/l) Osmolality is measured by freezing point depression	Day 1	Prevalence of dehydration (as defined as urinary osmolality \> 800 mOsmol/l) Osmolality is measured by freezing point depression

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
