LUS-sCPIS and sCPIS in the detection of VAP
Se sensivity, Sp specificity, PPV positive predictive value, NPV negative predictive value, AUC area under the curve, sCPIS simplified Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score, LUS-sCPIS Lung ultrasound-simplified Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score, where the "chest radiography" criterion is replaced by the presence or not of a color Doppler intrapulmonary flow within a consolidation, visualized using color Doppler
