  1. Parameters considered in the multivariate regression model using backwards selection that had significant impact in univariate analyses: age, BMI, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), ICU admission scores (APACHE II, SOFA, TISS28), ELAD (yes/no) as well as clinical variables that were assessed on day 3 (SOFA score), Crs Compliance of respiratory system by Crs = VT/ (Pplat - Pmean) pH day 3, Vt/PBW, Ppeak, Prone position, categories of Berlin definition and AECC definition, PaO2/FiO2. Data of 341 patients were considered. * p < 0,05. All parameters of the final regression model are presented, regardless of their significance
