Annals of Intensive Care

Table 3 Association of basic critical care echocardiography screening-derived abnormalities with mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome

Major BCCE-detected abnormalities	ICU mortality		Hospital mortality
Major BCCE-detected abnormalities	Univariate OR (95% CI)^a	Multivariate OR (95% CI)^b	Univariate OR (95% CI)^a	Multivariate OR (95% CI)^b
Screened patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (Berlin Definition)
Left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%	2.37 (1.15–4.89)*	2.10 (0.99–4.43)	2.19 (1.08–4.45)*	2.00 (0.95–4.18)
Severe acute cor pulmonale	2.16 (1.17–4.00)*	2.14 (1.13–4.04)*	1.90 (1.05–3.43)*	1.89 (1.02–3.50)*
