Abbreviations: a/A-ratio, arterial to alveolar oxygen tension ratio; FiO2, fraction of inspired oxygen; long MV, mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours; pCO2, partial pressure of carbon dioxide; pO2, partial pressure of oxygen; SBE, standard base excess; temp, temperature.

*P < 0.05.

1Adjusted for gestational age, gender, and birth year using robust standard error correction for clustering. Gestational age was adjusted for gender and birth year. Gender was adjusted for gestational age and birth year.

Percentage of missing values for each predictor: 2≤ 5%, 3≤ 10%, 4≤ 20%, 5≤ 30%, and 6≤ 40%.
