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

Table 3

Univariate association between LIPS and mortality.

ā€‰LIPS
mean (SD)
LIPS

Alive ()6.8 (3.3)6.5 (0, 15)(Reference)
Deceased ()8.8 (2.5)9 (4, 13)1.22 (1.08, 1.38)

Using those patients who survived as the reference, LIPS significantly predicts mortality as every 1-unit increase in LIPS raises the odds of mortality by 1.22. Statistical significance.
