Analysis of Prognostic Factors in Patients Requiring Mechanical Ventilation / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate prognostic factors in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Methods 91 patients receiving mechanical ventilation from Jan 2002 to May 2004 were divided into two groups death group and survival group. The patients' clinical data were retrospectively analyzed by Logistic regression method. Results Of the 98 patients, 48 cases (52.7%) died in the ICU, and 43 cases (47.3%)were survival. By means of single factor analysis, differences in total hospitalized time, time stayed in ICU,active partial thromboplastin time, red cell count, the level of haemoglobin and blood glucose, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scores between the two groups were significant (P
