The prognostic value of C-reactive protein in long-term care patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation
Chronic Respiratory Disease, 08/07/09

Sierros V et al. – CRP was not able to predict weaning success in this setting where the 60–day weaning rate was 9%. A CRP level of <=2.7 mg/dL may be used to screen for patients who are not likely to develop acute illness requiring early 2–week rehospitalization, and a CRP level of <=3.7 mg/dL may be used to predict 60–day survival in patients with respiratory failure requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation in the long–term care setting.
