We also tested and found that SOFA PaO 2 /FiO 2 subscore and GCS subscore on admission day 7 could help predict ventilator dependence on sepsis and septic shock patients with significant difference in univariate analysis ( Table 5 ). Ventilator dependence risk score, including a history of stroke and data from day 7 (thrombocytopenia, acidosis, and the higher fraction of inspired oxygen), can be applied to predict prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients who survive sepsis and septic shock. ./cache/cord-002956-e5ihpe4i.txt ./txt/cord-002956-e5ihpe4i.txt
