Validation of Difficult Airway Physiological Score (DAPS) in Critically Ill Adults Undergoing Endotracheal Intubation in the Emergency Department

Table 4

Risk stratification of serious outcomes as per difficult airway physiological score.

Outcome	All (n = 326)	Risk stratification as per DAPS		value
		High-risk score ≥10 (n = 194)	Low-risk score <10 (n = 132)
Cardiac arrest	56 [17.2%]	45 [23.2%]	11 [8.3%]	<0.001
Hypotension (SBP <100 mmHg)	132 [40.5%]	100 [51.5%]	32 [24.2%]	<0.001
Desaturation (<92%)	80 [24.5%]	60 [30.9%]	20 [15.2%]	0.001
Death in emergency (within 1 hour after intubation)	82 [25.2%]	61 [31.4%]	21 [15.9%]	0.002
Death in hospital	68 [20.9%]	43 [22.2%]	25 [18.9%]	0.482
Discharge	114 [35%]	55 [28.4%]	59 [44.7%]	0.002
