What is it about?
A new way of predict mortality in chronic respiratory failure: Health Assessment
Featured Image
Why is it important?
It highlights the diferences between distinct etiologies of chronic respiratory failure - pathophysiology and specific NIV management
Perspectives
I think we shouldn't mix different etiologies in chronic respiratory failure. Each etiology request a different management, to obtain better outcomes. Although mortality is the main outcome, we need different and new outcomes, like Health Status, that we can follow up and improve it, based on a more personalizes management
