Forest plot of the result of univariate analysis for partial pressure of arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO₂/FiO₂) ratio (combined by HR). The result of univariate analysis in six studies was pooled for meta-analysis and a total of 325 patients were included. PaO₂/FiO₂ ratio was significantly associated with all-cause mortality with an HR of 0.95 (95% CI 0.92 to 0.97, p<0.0001). There was no heterogeneity (χ²=4.66, p=0.46, I²=0%).
