Abstract

Leroy and colleagues report on the accuracy of the Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation Prognostic Model (`ProVent’) in a cohort study of patients ventilated for at least 21 days in one of three hospitals in the north of France. This study is noteworthy because it is the first to describe the performance of the ProVent model both outside the US and in a community hospital-based setting.
