LM Brown, CS Calfee, MA Matthay… - Critical care …, 2011 - journals.lww.com
Objective: Despite improvements in the care of critically ill patients, hospital mortality rate for
acute lung injury remains high at approximately 40%. We developed a classification rule to
stratify mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung injury according to hospital mortality
and compared this rule with the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation III
prediction. Patients: We used data of 2,022 participants in Acute Respiratory Distress
Syndrome Network trials to build a classification rule based on 54 variables collected before …
