Prognostic performance of the Age, PaO₂/FiO₂ Ratio, and Plateau Pressure Score (APPS) for mortality in patients with COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome admitted to an intensive care unit.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A predictive scoring system used in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) known as Age, PaO₂/FiO₂, Plateau Pressure Score (APPS) has been externally validated to predict mortality in Asian and Caucasian populations. Its performance in Latin American and COVID-19 patients still needs to be done.

Objective

To assess the association between APPS and mortality, as well as APPS performance in predicting mortality within 28 days of intensive care unit (ICU) admission in patients with ARDS due to COVID-19.

Design

Analytical observational retrospective cohort study.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study in patients diagnosed with ARDS according to the Berlin criteria who were admitted to the ICU. We evalua
