Multicenter Validation of the Vasoactive-Ventilation-Renal Score as a Predictor of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation After Neonatal Cardiac Surgery [PDF]
, 2018 Objectives: We sought to validate the Vasoactive-Ventilation-Renal score, a novel disease severity index, as a predictor of outcome in a multicenter cohort of neonates who underwent cardiac surgery. Design: Retrospective chart review.

An economic evaluation of prolonged mechanical ventilation* [PDF]
Critical Care Medicine, 2007 Patients who receive prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) have high resource utilization and relatively poor outcomes, especially the elderly, and are increasing in number. The economic implications of PMV provision however are uncertain and would be helpful to providers and policymakers.
