An editorial commending a newly developed scoring model for predicting severe acute lung injury following acute type A aortic dissection.
Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a clinical emergency and is associated with significant mortality and morbidity which necessitates immediate surgical intervention.1 Although surgical techniques have improved over time, resulting in lower mortality rates, 2 the high incidence of post-operative complications remains the primary factor influencing the patient's long term outlook.One of these complications is acute lung injury (ALI), a major cause of post-operative mortality with an incidence of 15 to 30%. 3 Wang et al. should be commended for developing a scoring model for severe ALI following ATAAD and highlighting the predictive risk factors.4
