Nonlinear imputation of PaO2/FIO2 from SpO2/FIO2 among mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU: a prospective, observational study.
The objective of the study was to validate the superiority of nonlinear imputation of PaO2/FIO2 (a clinical indicator of hypoxaemia) among mechanically ventilated patients and understand what factors influence the accuracy of imputation. It concluded that in mechanically ventilated patients, nonlinear imputation of PaO2/FIO2 from SpO2/FIO2 seems accurate, especially for moderate-severe hypoxemia. Linear and log-linear imputations cannot be recommended.
