Reintubation Summation Calculation: A Predictive Score for Extubation Failure in Critically Ill Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To derive and validate a multivariate risk score for the prediction of respiratory failure after extubation.

Patients and methods

We performed a retrospective cohort study of adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2015, who received mechanical ventilation for ≥48 h. Extubation failure was defined as the need for reintubation within 72 h after extubation. Multivariate logistic regression model coefficient estimates generated the Re-Intubation Summation Calculation (RISC) score.

Results

The 6,161 included patients were randomly divided into 2 sets: derivation (n = 3,080) and validation (n = 3,081). Predictors of extubation failure in the derivation set included body mas
