When the value of gold is zero

Abstract: This manuscript presents the concerns around the increasingly common problem of not having readily available or useful “gold standard” measurements. This issue is particularly important in critical care where many measurements used in decision making are surrogates of what we would truly wish to use. However, the question is broad, important and applicable in many other areas.In particular, a gold standard measurement often exists, but is not clinically (or ethically in some cases) feasible. The question is ho… Show more

“…For example, PEEP can be set using computerized tomography scan (CT-scan) to maximize lung recruitment. However, CT-scans are costly and invasive, thus, it is not frequently used for setting MV PEEP [88]. Hence, clinicians are resorted to set MV based on generalized guide, as well as based on their clinical experience and intuition [65], [74], [89], [90].…”

“…Finally, model-based MV research is not without challenge. It is often hindered by the need of specialised clinical protocols [ 38 , 210 213 ], results comparison and validation [ 62 , 214 , 215 ], data quality, and model identification [ 190 , 212 , 216 ]. Ultimately, the need for large randomised controlled trials is a further limitation.…”
