Relationship between Driving Pressure and Mortality in Ventilated Patients with Heart Failure: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, with an increasing incidence. Invasive ventilation is considered to be essential for patients with HF. Previous studies have shown that driving pressure is associated with mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, the relationship between driving pressure and mortality has not yet been examined in ventilated patients with HF. We assessed the association of driving pressure and mortality in patients with HF.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of invasive ventilated adult patients with HF from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III database. We used multivariable logistic regression models, a generalized additive model, and a two-piecewise
