Result: LIPS 5.5: high risk for ALI/ARDS development per Gajic 2011 (cutoff >=4).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- <4
- Below the Gajic 2011 ALI/ARDS high-risk cutoff.
- >=4
- High risk for ALI/ARDS development per Gajic 2011 (cutoff >=4).
