A Simple-to-Use Web-Based Calculator for Survival Prediction in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to construct and validate a simple-to-use model to predict the survival of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.Methods: A total of 197 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome were selected from the Dryad Digital Repository. All eligible individuals were randomly stratified into the training set (n=133) and the validation set (n=64) as 2: 1 ratio. LASSO regression analysis was used to select the optimal predictors, and receiver operating characteristic and calibration curves were used to evaluate accuracy and discrimination of the model. Clinical usefulness of the model was also assessed using decision curve analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis.Results: Age, albumin, platelet count, PaO2/FiO2, lactate dehydrogenase, high-resolution computed tomography score, and etiology were identified as independent prognostic factors based on LASSO regression analysis; these factors were integrated for the construction of the nomogram. Results of calibration plots, decision curve analysis, and receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that this model has good predictive ability of patient survival in acute respiratory distress syndrome. Moreover, a significant difference in the 28-day survival was shown between the patients stratified into different risk groups (P < 0.001). For convenient application, we also established a web-based calculator (https://huangl.shinyapps.io/ARDSprognosis/).Conclusions: We satisfactorily constructed a simple-to-use model based on seven relevant factors to predict survival and prognosis of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. This model can aid personalized treatment and clinical decision-making.

Effect of Glasgow Coma Scale Score on 28-Day Mortality in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Multi-center Retrospective Study Based on the eICU Collaborative Research Database

“…However, the complexity and extensive variables involved in the calculation process of Apache IV present challenges for timely and appropriate clinical decision-making. Liu Y et al's model is more parsimonious, but its AUC (0.75) is not as good as ours [19] . In a study by Gajic et al, a similar model exhibited comparable discriminatory ability but required organ function data at 3 days after intubation [20] .…”

Predicting persistent organ failure on admission in patients with acute pancreatitis: development and validation of a mobile nomogram

“…For example, the oxygenation index was not included in our analysis because only paucity data were available. In a most recent study, 56 the authors found that oxygenation index had low prognostic power (AUC 55.3%) for acute respiratory distress syndrome. Thirdly, the nomogram did not have specific markers for circulatory and renal failure.…”
