Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Prediction of in-hospital mortality within the validation cohort assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve for tools developed using: 1. Indices available on admission 2. All indices up to and including the time of deterioration | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In the admitted population: 1. Comparison of the AUROC curves for both novel tools 2. Comparison of the AUROC curves for both novel tools to CAPS, APACHE II and Confalonieri risk chart Among patients surviving to discharge: 1. Mortality to 1 year by review of electronic record, contacting GP or review of patient notes 2. Readmission rates at 30, 90 and 365 days by review of electronic record, contacting GP, review of patient notes 3. Comparison of mortality and clinically significant change in quality of life in patients with, and without pre-defined characteristics: 3.1. Late failure of NIV (recurrent respiratory acidaemia, despite on-going ventilatory support; in-patient mortality will also be captured). 3.2. Persistent hypercapnia. 3.3. Long-term oxygen therapy. 3.4. Long-term ventilation on discharge. 3.5. Eosinopenia (<0.05 109/L) at discharge 4. Longitudinal changes in patient reported outcomes (CAT, eQ-5D-5L, NEADL, HADS) post discharge, quantified by calculating: mean change (relative to the minimum clinically important difference (MCID)); duration maintained above baseline and time taken to reach peak 5. Predictors of a) 6 month mortality and b) poor baseline QoL with a subsequent clinically significant deterioration (poor recovery) 6. Relation between clinically significant anxiety and depression on discharge and: survival, QoL, functional status and readmission rate 7. Examination of patient willingness to undergo ventilation again in the future by direct questioning at baseline and 3 months | — |
