External Validation of a Novel Lung Injury Prevention Score for the Emergency Department.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Despite numerous randomized controlled trials, lung protective ventilation and prone positioning remain the only therapies shown to have a survival benefit in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute workshop on the future of clinical research in ARDS suggested that identification of at-risk patients earlier in their clinical course would allow implementation of prevention strategies and facilitate study of these interventions. To this end, the Lung Injury Prevention Score (LIPS) was derived and validated to identify patients at risk of developing ARDS upon hospital admission, and the Emergency Department Lung Injury Prevention Score (EDLIPS) was subsequently derived and internally validated. For this study, we sought to e
