Time evolution of PF ratio across the first ten days of admission for the whole sample according to ARDS definition of PFratio intervals by the Berlin Task Force (top). CPP evolution across the first ten days of admission for the whole sample and CPP definition interval according to Brain Trauma Foundation (bottom). PF ratio: ratio between oxygen arterial pressure and inspired fraction of oxygen; CPP: Cerebral Perfusion Pressure; HOB: Head of bed elevation (30o).

Time evolution of PFratio (top), Ppl-PEEP (middle) and CPP-CPPopt (bottom), for each patient (fine lines), according to the Outcome (Dead or Alive) and Sex (Female, in red; Male, in black). The mean and 95% confidence band of the prediction model, based on the fixed-effects, are also pictured. PFratio: ratio between oxygen arterial pressure and inspired fraction of oxygen; Ppl–PEEP: difference between plateau pressure and PEEP (driving pressure); CPP-CPPopt: difference between cerebral perfusion pressure and optimal CPP.
