Reinstitution of Mechanical Ventilation within 14 Days as a Poor Predictor in Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation Patients following Successful Weaning
Figure 1
Kaplan-Meier analysis of prognostic factors for 1-year cumulative survival in 121 prolonged mechanical ventilation patients following successful weaning: age <70 versus ≥70 years (a), RIFLE-LE versus non-RIFLE-LE (b), and the reinstitution of mechanical ventilation within 14 days versus beyond (c).
