Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in children: case mix and the utility of respiratory severity indices 2013-12-27 .txt text/plain 3992 207 45 In an individual patient, such a response to intervention should be indicated by their best, rather than worst, measure of gas exchange, Therefore, the purpose of the present prospective, single institution study of AHRF in children was to assess whether the best, early respiratory indices in non-survivors were significantly different from those who survived. Table 2 Comparison of previously published [2] [3] [4] [5] respiratory severity parameters with the present series (PPV positive predictive value for mortality, VI ventilation index, OI oxygenation index, PIP peak inspiratory pressure (cmH20), A-aDO 2 alveolar arterial oxygen gradient (mmHg), MAP mean airway pressure (cmH20), LR + the likelihood ratio for a positive test result, i.e. the ratio of finding the predictor in non-survivors to finding it in survivors) * indicates intermediate to high diagnostic impact, ns not significant Proposed PPV LR + PPV p predictors (95 % confidence interval) in present study ./cache/cord-005583-hmv8jjfl.txt ./txt/cord-005583-hmv8jjfl.txt
