Table 2: Prognostic Variables for All-cause Mortality in Pulmonary Oedema Patients.
| A. Independent Prognostic Factors Associated with In-hospital Mortality in Observational Studies |
| POPS (n=276 patients)[10] |
| –Low SBP at presentation |
| –WBC count |
| –AMI at presentation |
| –Heart rate |
| ALARM-HF survey (n=1,820 patients)[6] |
| –History of previous cardiovascular event |
| –Cardiomyopathy |
| –Low LVEF |
| –Low SBP |
| –Serum creatinine at presentation |
| –Treatment with diuretics |
| RO–AHFS study (n=924 patients)[11] |
| –Need for inotrope |
| –Need for invasive MV |
| –VFib, sVT during hospitalisation |
| –Acute coronary syndromes at presentation |
| –LBBB at admission |
| –BUN at presentation |
| –Age |
| B. Independent Prognostic Factors Associated with 7–days Mortality in Clinical Trials |
| 3CPO trial (n=1,062 pts)[34] |
| –Ability to obey commands |
| –Low SBP at presentation |
| –Age |
3CPO = 3 Interventions in Cardiogenic Pulmonary Oedema; AMI = acute myocardial infarction; BUN = blood urea nitrogen; LBBB = left bundle brunch block; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; MV = mechanical ventilation; POPS = Pulmonary Oedema Prognostic Score; RBBB = right bundle brunch block; SBP = systolic blood pressure; sVT = sustained ventricular tachycardia; VFib = ventricular fibrillation; WBC = white blood cell count.
