cord-011314-at65nvda	De Weerdt, Annick	Pre-admission air pollution exposure prolongs the duration of ventilation in intensive care patients	2020-03-17		.txt	text/plain	4059	185	38	For each patient's home address, daily air pollutant exposure [particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM(2.5)) and ≤ 10 µm (PM(10)), nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) and black carbon (BC)] up to 10 days prior to hospital admission was modeled using a high-resolution spatial–temporal model. In analogy with the recent finding that patient preadmission medical and sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., medication use, immune status, frailty) can influence the course and outcome and even the degree of respiratory failure during intensive care unit (ICU) admission [8] [9] [10] , we investigated the association between short-term exposure to residential ambient air pollution and the duration of mechanical ventilation in ICU patients. Short-term ambient particulate and gaseous air pollution exposure prior to ICU admission significantly prolongs the duration of mechanical ventilation irrespective of preexisting lung disease or ICU admission diagnosis.	./cache/cord-011314-at65nvda.txt	./txt/cord-011314-at65nvda.txt
