Conditions
Mechanical Ventilation

Behavioral: ProVent-14 score
Registration Number
NCT06452797
Lead Sponsor
Rush University Medical Center
Brief Summary

One challenge with decision making for mechanically ventilated is that their prognosis is often uncertain. The ProVent-14 score incorporates clinical variables measured on the 14th day of mechanical ventilation to predict risk of death in one year. The ProVent-14 is easy to calculate has been externally validated. However, it is unclear how often clinicians use the ProVent-14 score to predict long-term outcomes for patients requiring 14 days of mechanical ventilation or if it helps clinicians make more accurate predictions. The purpose of this study is to determine whether ICU clinicians who receive a patient's ProVent-14 score make more accurate predictions for mortality at one year than ICU clinicians who do not.

ProVent-14 Guided Prognostic ApproachProVent-14 scoreParticipants will be asked to form a prognosis after being provided the patient's ProVent-14 score and its meaning
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Accuracy of one-year mortality rate predictionsOne-year after participant enrollment

Associations between participant predictions (0-100% risk of death) and patient outcomes (death or not) will be determined using logistic regression. Accuracy will be determined by Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUROC) analysis.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comfort communicating prognosis to patient/surrogateUpon enrollment

1-10 scale, 10 being most comfortable

Accuracy of timing of patient deathOne-year after participant enrollment

Participants who predict the patient has a \<50% chance of survival will be asked to predict the month the patient will pass away

Confidence in predictionUpon enrollment

1-10 scale, 10 being most confident

Recommendation to transition to comfort-focused careUpon enrollment
