Furthermore, such an evaluation should be preferentially performed in 2 independent cohorts to assess its reproducibility, given the heterogeneity in the performances of CPIS for the diagnosis of VAP in ventilated patients [9] , and because this score was not initially developed to distinguish VAT from VAP. Therefore, we aimed in this study to evaluate the accuracy of the CPIS to differentiate VAT from VAP in 2 independent cohorts of patients with microbiologically confirmed VA-LRTI. Data are presented as number (%) or mean (SD) COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, SAPS Simplified acute physiology score, SOFA Sequential organ failure assessment, VAP Ventilator-associated pneumonia, VAT Ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis p value < 0.05 is indicated in italic characters Clinical outcomes in the derivation and validation cohorts are shown in Table 2 and Additional file 3. ./cache/cord-029984-sjvqjoye.txt ./txt/cord-029984-sjvqjoye.txt
