On the left the Berlin/AECC definition is presented, on the right the PALICC criteria. Significant differences were found in MV duration and VFD when stratified by PALICC 24 h and 48 h after onset and in admission duration when stratified by PALICC 24 h after onset. Kruskal–Wallis test was used, α = 0.05
