Abbreviations: ARDS acute respiratory distress syndrome, APACHE Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation, PEEP positive end-expiratory pressure, OR odds ratio

Estimates for covariates are derived from the driving pressure model. The plateau pressure model included the same covariates as the driving pressure model

aOdds ratio adjusted for age, sex, PEEP, APACHE II, vasopressor use, sepsis, hospital volume, and ICU category

bOdds ratios for driving pressure and plateau pressure are scaled to IQRs
