Trends in the incidence of noncardiogenic acute respiratory failure: the role of race
(2012-05)
Objective—We sought to examine trends in the race-specific incidence of acute respiratory
failure in the United States. Design—Retrospective cohort study.
Setting—We used the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) ...
The validity of using ICD-9 codes and pharmacy records to identify patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(BioMed Central, 2011-02)
Background: Administrative data is often used to identify patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet the validity of this approach is unclear. We sought to develop a predictive model utilizing ...
Predictors of Time to Death After Terminal Withdrawal of Mechanical Ventilation in the ICU
(2010-04)
Little information exists about the expected time to death after terminal withdrawal of mechanical ventilation. We sought to determine the independent predictors of time to death after withdrawal of mechanical ventilatio ...
Automated Classification of Radiology Reports for Acute Lung Injury: Comparison of Keyword and Machine Learning Based Natural Language Processing Approaches.
(2009-11)
This paper compares the performance of keyword and machine learning-based chest x-ray report classification for Acute Lung Injury (ALI). ALI mortality is approximately 30 percent. High mortality is, in part, a consequence ...
The effect of an intensive care unit staffing model on tidal volume in patients with acute lung injury
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2008-11-03)
Introduction
Little is known about the mechanisms through which intensivist physician staffing influences patient outcomes. We aimed to assess the effect of closed-model intensive care on evidence-based ventilatory practice ...
Predictors of hospital mortality in a population-based cohort of patients with acute lung injury
(Society of Critical Care Medicine & Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008-05)
Objective: Studies describing predictors of mortality in patients with acute lung injury were primarily derived from selected academic centers. We sought to determine the predictors of mortality in a population-based cohort ...
Cost-effectiveness of Implementing Low-Tidal Volume Ventilation in Patients With Acute Lung Injury
(American College of Chest Physicians, 2009)
Background: Despite widespread guidelines recommending the use of lung-protective ventilation (LPV) in patients with acute lung injury (ALI), many patients do not receive this lifesaving therapy. We sought to estimate the ...
A simple clinical predictive index for objective estimates of mortality in acute lung injury
(Society of Critical Care Medicine & Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2009-06)
Objective: We sought to develop a simple point score that would accurately capture the risk of hospital death for patients with acute lung injury (ALI).
Design: This is a secondary analysis of data from two randomized ...
Red blood cell transfusion and outcomes in patients with acute lung injury, sepsis and shock
(2011-09-21)
Introduction
To determine the association between red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and outcomes in patients with acute lung injury (ALI), sepsis, and shock.
Methods
We performed a secondary analysis of new-onset ALI ...
Prediction of Critical Illness During Out-of-Hospital Emergency Care
(2010-08)
CONTEXT: Early identification of nontrauma patients in need of critical care services in the emergency setting may improve triage decisions and facilitate regionalization of critical care.
OBJECTIVES:
To determine the ...
