Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> Prediction of in-hospital mortality within the derivation cohort, assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve for tools developed using:<br> 1. Indices available on admission<br> 2. All indices up to and including the time of deterioration<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Comparison of the AUROC curves for both novel tools<br> 2. Comparison of the AUROC curves for both novel tools to CAPS and APACHE II<br> 3. 30 day, 90 day, 180 day and 1 year mortality<br> 4. 30 and 90 day readmission rates<br> 5. Comparison of outcomes in patients with, and without pre-defined characteristics:<br> 5.1. Late failure of NIV (recurrent respiratory acidaemia, despite on-going ventilatory support)<br> 5.2. Persistent hypercapnia<br> 5.3. Long-term oxygen therapy<br> 5.4. Long-term ventilation on discharge<br>
