Lung Injury Prediction Score Is Useful in Predicting Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Mortality in Surgical Critical Care Patients

Figure 2

ROC curve for LIPS predicting ARDS. The area under the curve is 0.79, demonstrating LIPS is a strong predictor of the development of ARDS. Additionally, by maximizing the sensitivity and specificity, a LIPS value of 7 was determined to be statistically significant for deciding when a patient will be at high risk for developing ARDS.
