Hypoxemia Trajectory of Non-COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients. An Observational Study Focusing on Hypoxemia Resolver Status.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Most studies on acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) group patients by severity based on their initial degree of hypoxemia. However, this grouping has limitations, including inconsistent hypoxemia trajectories and outcomes.

Objectives

This study explores the benefits of grouping patients by resolver status based on their hypoxemia progression over the first 7 days.

Design setting and participants

This is an observational study from a large single-center database. Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV and MIMIC Chest X-ray JPEG databases were used. Mechanically ventilated patients that met the Berlin ARDS criteria were included.

Main outcomes and measures

The primary outcome was the proportion of hypoxemia resolvers vs. nonresol
