Association Between Baseline Driving Pressure and Mortality in Very Old Patients with ARDS.
Due to effects of aging on the respiratory system, it is conceivable that the association between driving pressure and mortality depends on age. ⋯ Data from randomized controlled trials with strict inclusion criteria suggest that the effect of driving pressure on mortality of patients with ARDS may depend on age. These results may advocate for a personalized age-dependent mechanical ventilation approach.
