Respiratory failure & ventilation

A multivariable prediction model for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory failure (IPA-GRRR-OH score)

Intensive Care MedPublished Prediction model development and validation study

Authors' conclusion

The IPA-GRRR-OH is a clinical score, easily available at ICU admission, which reliably predicts IPA in immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory failure.
