Survival curves for AECC and Berlin definition of acute respiratory distress syndrome, PaO2/FiO2 ratio and OI on day 3. Three hundred seventy nine patients had a PaO2/FiO2 ratio ≤ 300 mmHg on day 3 and have been grouped in the corresponding stages of the AECC (a) and Berlin definition (b). In total, PaO2/FiO2 was available for all 411 patients alive on day 3 (c). Values for FiO2/PaO2*Pmean were available for 391 patients being mechanically ventilated on that day (d). AECC: American-European Consensus Conference; F i O 2 : inspiratory fraction of oxygen; F i O 2 /P a O 2 * P mean describes oxygenation index. P a O 2 : arterial partial pressure of oxygen; P mean : mean airway pressure, OI: oxygenation index
