Lung Injury Prediction Score in Hospitalized Patients at Risk of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Abstract

In a cohort of non-emergency department hospitalized patients, the Lung Injury Prediction Score and Lung Injury Prediction Score greater than or equal to 4 can identify patients at increased risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome and/or death at the time of critical care contact but it does not perform as well as in the original emergency department cohort.
