Table 3 Association between bronchoalveolar lavage fluid lymphocytes ≥20% and decreased mortality

From: Prognostic value of lymphocyte counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in patients with acute respiratory failure: a retrospective cohort study

  Hazard ratio (95% CI) P value
1-year mortality
 P/F ratio 0.996 (0.990–1.00) 0.18
 Interstitial lung disease 0.375 (0.133–0.926) 0.033
 BALF lymphocytes ≥20% 0.0929 (0.0147–0.323) <0.0001
90-day mortality
 P/F ratio 0.997 (0.991–1.00) 0.27
 Interstitial lung disease 0.371 (0.120–0.964) 0.041
 BALF lymphocytes ≥20% 0.177 (0.041–0.534) 0.0012
  1. BALF Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, CI Confidence interval, P/F PaO2/FiO2
  2. P values were calculated using a multivariate logistic regression analysis
