A study to correlate the association of Gender, Age, Physiology (GAP) index and radiological patterns in interstitial lung disease by Aditya Shashi Bhushan, B L Shashibhushan, K Ashwin

“…Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) encompasses a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of lung tissue, leading to impaired gas exchange and respiratory failure. The GAP index, based on gender, age, and pulmonary function, predicts mortality and disease severity in patients with ILD. …”

Association between red cell distribution width to albumin ratio and all-cause mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to the intensive care unit: a retrospective st... by Xuan Chen, Yuchen Luo, Side Liu

“…Subgroup analysis suggested that increased RAR caused higher risk of death in male, non-white people or those patients without respiratory failure (RF). ROC analysis indicated that compared with other parameters such as SOFA score, RAR exhibited higher efficiency in predicting in-hospital and all-cause mortality at 14-d, 21-d, 28-d, 90-d. …”
