Can we predict prognosis using mortality probability model IIo?
Using a decision-cutoff of 95% predicted mortality using MPMI IIo had a very high specificity in predicting death after intensive care unit admission, although with a low sensitivity. This information can be used to support clinical judgment regarding the very ill patients who are unlikely to benefit from intensive care unit admission.
We conclude that low-level oxygen supplementation during early lung development does not affect alveolar development in the newborn rat.
