Amato MBP, Meade MO, Slutsky AS, et al. Driving pressure and survival in the acute respiratory distress syndrome. N Engl J Med 2015;372(8):747-755. DOI 10.1056/NEJMsa1410639. ΔP = VT ÷ CRS = plateau pressure − PEEP, valid only when the patient makes no inspiratory effort; a 1-SD increment in ΔP (about 7 cm H₂O) was associated with higher mortality (relative risk 1.41, 95% CI 1.31-1.51). No cutoff was defined. (2015)
