Covariates: salbutamol (high referenced to low dose), age (as a continuous variable), gender (female referenced to male), surgical versus medical diagnosis, history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and/or smoking, APACHE II score on admission (as a continuous variable), cause of acute lung injury (ALI; pulmonary referenced to extrapulmonary), presence or absence of septic shock, and severity of ALI as defined by presence or absence of arterial oxygen partial pressure/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) ratio ≤ 200. CI, confidence interval. |
