Excerpt

We read with great interest the article recently published by Humaloja et al. “The Association Between Arterial Oxygen Level and Outcome in Neurocritically Ill Patients Is not Affected by Blood Pressure” [1]. The authors examined the association between different partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO₂₎ and blood pressure patterns and 1-year mortality in various types of brain injury. The main results revealed that PaO₂ was not an independent predictor of mortality, whereas an higher mean arterial pressure (MAP) predicted lower mortality. After a careful reading of this article, we would suggest to the authors some explanations to their study conclusions. …
