Additional file 5 of Patient–ventilator asynchrony, impact on clinical outcomes and effectiveness of interventions: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Additional file 5: Forest plots showing the results of subgroup analysis regarding the method (human/software) of PVA assessment (A) and sensitivity analysis for hospital mortality that was clearly defined at a time point (B) for ventilated patients with high patient–ventilator asynchrony (PVA) versus low PVA and clinical outcomes in Part A. A. 1, Duration of mechanical ventilation. A. 2, ICU mortality. A. 3, Hospital mortality. A. 4, Incidence of reintubation. A. 5, Incidence of tracheostomy. PVA, patient–ventilator asynchrony; SD, standard deviation; CI, confidence interval; IV, inverse variance; M–H, Mantel–Haenszel
