NIV = noninvasive ventilation, OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence internal, GCS = Glasgow coma scale, HR = heart rate, RR = respiratory rate, COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Delirium, sex, age, underlying disease, APACHE II score, GCS scores, heart rate, respiratory rate, pH, PaCO2, and PaO2/FiO2 were entered into multivariate analyses to identify independent risk factors for NIV failure, ICU mortality, and hospital mortality
