Predictors of 6-month health utility outcomes in survivors of acute respiratory distress syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With improving short-term mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), understanding and improving quality of life (QOL) outcomes in ARDS survivors is a clinical and research priority. We sought to identify variables associated with QOL, as measured by the EQ-5D health utility score, after ARDS using contemporary data science methods.

Methods

Analysis of prospectively acquired baseline variables and 6-month EQ-5D health utility scores for adults with ARDS enrolled in the ARDS Network Long-Term Outcomes Study (ALTOS). Penalised regression identified predictors of health utility, with results validated using 10-fold cross-validation.

Results

Among 616 ARDS survivors, several predictors were associated with 6-month EQ-5D utility scores, including t
