Development and Validation of a Nomogram for Predicting the Need for Mechanical Ventilation in Patients Undergoing High-Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy: A Retrospective Study Based on the MIMIC-IV Database

Key Points

To develop and validate a nomogram that predicts the need for mechanical ventilation in patients receiving high-flow nasal cannula therapy.
Analyzed data from the MIMIC-IV database
Developed a nomogram based on patient clinical features
Validated the nomogram's predictive accuracy
The nomogram accurately predicts mechanical ventilation requirements
It assists in clinical decision-making regarding continuation of HFNC
Shows potential for improving patient management in respiratory care

Abstract

We developed and validated a nomogram to predict the likelihood of MV requirement in patients receiving HFNC therapy. The nomogram may serve as a practical clinical tool to assist physicians in determining whether to continue HFNC therapy or initiate MV in clinically ill patients.
