The ROX index (Index combining the respiratory rate with oxygenation) is a prognostic factor for acute respiratory distress syndrome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 BackgroundThere is no existing reliable and practical method for predicting the prognosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).ObjectiveWe aimed to clarify the association between the ROX index, which is calculated as the ratio of peripheral ...

Association of ROX Index with Mechanical Ventilator Use in Sepsis Patients in the Emergency Department [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022 Detecting sepsis patients who are at a high-risk of mechanical ventilation is important in emergency departments (ED). The respiratory rate oxygenation (ROX) index is the ratio of tissue oxygen saturation/fraction of inspired oxygen to the respiratory rate. This study aimed to investigate whether the ROX index could predict mechanical ventilator use in

Validity of the ROX index in predicting invasive mechanical ventilation requirement in pneumonia [PDF]
BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2022 Background The ROX index (Respiratory rate-OXygenation) has been described as a prediction tool to identify the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure treated with ...

ROX Index Variation as a Predictor of Outcomes in COVID-19 Patients [PDF]
Journal of Clinical MedicineBackground: During the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency departments were overcrowded with critically ill patients, and many providers were confronted with ethical dilemmas in assigning respiratory support to them due to scarce resources. Quick tools for evaluating patients upon admission were necessary, as many existing scores proved inaccurate in ...

The Validity of the ROX Index and APACHE II in Predicting Early, Late, and Non-Responses to Non-Invasive Ventilation in Patients with COVID-19 in a Low-Resource Setting [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 The use of the Ratio of Oxygen Saturation (ROX) index to predict the success of high-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) is well established. The ROX can also predict the need for intubation, mortality, and is easier to calculate compared with APACHE II.

Association between the ROX index and mortality in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Respiratory ResearchBackground Although ROX index is frequently used to assess the efficacy of high-flow nasal cannula treatment in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) patients, the relationship between the ROX index and the mortality remains unclear.

ROX index as a predictor of failure of high-flow nasal cannula in infants with bronchiolitis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHigh-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a relatively recent therapy that has been used to treat respiratory failure. Until now, the criterion for failure requiring escalation to other forms of ventilatory support has remained unclear.

Prediction of noninvasive ventilation failure using the ROX index in patients with de novo acute respiratory failure [PDF]
Annals of Intensive Care, 2022 Background The ratio of SpO2/FiO2 to respiratory rate (ROX) index is commonly used to predict the failure of high-flow nasal cannula. However, its predictive power for noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure is unclear.
