Correlation between mechanical power and lung ultrasound score and association with clinical outcomes in acute respiratory distress syndrome

Figure 1 Flow diagram showing patient screening, exclusions, and inclusion in the final analysis. ARDS: Acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Figure 2 Scatter plots showing the association between mechanical power and lung ultrasound score at predefined time points. A: Baseline; B: 24 hours; C: 48 hours; D: 72 hours. Pearson correlation coefficients (r) and two-tailed P values are shown. All correlations were based on the complete cohort (n = 44) at each time point.

Figure 3 Receiver operating characteristic curves showing the discriminative performance mean mechanical power and mean driving pressure for prediction of 28-day mortality (n = 44). MP: Mechanical power; DP: Driving pressure; AUROC: Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
