From: Is there still a role for the lung injury score in the era of the Berlin definition ARDS?

Figure 2

Box plot comparison of Lung Injury Score according to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) risk factor in 550 patients with Berlin-defined ARDS. The line in the middle of the box represents the median and the lines that form the box correspond to the 25th and 75th percentiles. The LIS differs significantly across ARDS risk factor group, which is driven by an increased LIS among patients with pneumonia, P < 0.0001. Compared to all other causes of ARDS, mean baseline LIS for patients with pneumonia as a primary cause of ARDS is 0.5 points higher (95% CI 0.3 to 0.6).
