Association between prehospital ROX index with 30-day mortality among septic shock [PDF]
European Journal of Medical ResearchPurpose Respiratory dysfunction is one of the most frequent symptoms observed during sepsis reflecting hypoxemia and/or acidosis that may be assessed by the ROX index (ratio of oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry/fraction of inspired oxygen to ...

COVID-19 Pneumonia and ROX index: Time to set a new threshold for patients admitted outside the ICU [PDF]
Pulmonology, 2022 High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is used to treat acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) even outside the ICU and the ROX index (pulse oximetry/fraction of inspired oxygen/respiratory rate) may predict HFNC failure.Objective The purpose of this ...

The ROX index can be a useful tool for the triage evaluation of COVID‐19 patients with dyspnoea [PDF]
Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2021 Abstract Aim To assess whether the application of a non‐invasive tool, such as ratio of oxygen saturation (ROX) index, during triage can identify patients with COVID‐19 at high risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Expanding the utility of the ROX index among patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2022 Background Delaying intubation in patients who fail high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) may result in increased mortality. The ROX index has been validated to predict HFNC failure among pneumonia patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF), but little information is available for non-pneumonia causes.

Prognostic Performance of Bedside Lung Ultrasound Score (LUSS) and ROX Index in Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Due to COVID-19 [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2023 Background: Noninvasive ventilation, mainly helmet CPAP, was widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic, even outside of intensive care units. Both the ROX index and the LUS score (LUSS) have been proposed as tools to predict negative outcomes in patients ...

The ROX index has greater predictive validity than NEWS2 for deterioration in Covid-19 [PDF]
EClinicalMedicine, 2021 Patients admitted to hospital with Covid-19 are at risk of deterioration. The National Early Warning Score (NEWS2) is widely recommended, however it's validity in Covid-19 is not established and indices more specific for respiratory failure may be more appropriate.

Predicting Intubation in COVID-19 Patients by the ROX Index Method
Eurasian Journal of Emergency MedicineAim: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the ROX index for predicting intubation in Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients receiving high nasal flow cannula (HNFC) and to underline the risk and association of intubation with pre-existing ...

Performance of the ROX index in predicting high flow nasal cannula failure in COVID-19 patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Critical Care, 2023 COVID-19 patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) benefit from high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy. However, delays in initiating invasive ventilation after HFNC failure are associated with poorer outcomes.

Role of ROX index in the first assessment of COVID-19 patients in the emergency department [PDF]
Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2020 Abstract Background: In Italy, since the first symptomatic cases of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) appeared in late February 2020, 205.463 cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were reported as of April 30, causing an high rate of hospital admission through the Emergency Department (ED).Objectives: The aim of the study ...
