I'm looking for the article that came out at the end of 2012 about NS having increased mortality versus LR. Can't seem to find it. I recall it being an ICU-based study.

no such study. there was one in nejm stating slight increase in renal failure however.

The study I think you're referring to is:
"Association Between a Chloride-Liberal vs Chloride-Restrictive Intravenous Fluid Administration Strategy and Kidney Injury in Critically Ill Adults"
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23073953

It's crap, though:
