It is often difficult to identify the causes of AHRF at the time of admission. The SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> to FiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> (S\/F) ratio has been recently used as a non-invasive and alternative marker of the PaO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\/FiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> (P\/F) ratio in acute respiratory failure. This retrospective cohort study was conducted from October 2010 to March 2019 at the Showa University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. We enrolled 94 AHRF patients who had bilateral opacities and received mechanical ventilation in ICU to investigate their prognostic markers including S\/F ratio. Significant differences were observed for APACHE II, S\/F ratio, PaO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\/FiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> (P\/F) ratio, and ventilator\u2212free-days at day 28 for ICU mortality, and for age, S\/F ratio, P\/F ratio, duration of mechanical ventilation, and ventilator\u2212free days at day 28 for hospital mortality. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the S\/F ratio was significantly and independently associated with the risk of death during in ICU (p = 0.003) and hospitalization (p = 0.002). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) based on the S\/F ratio were significantly greater than those based on simplified acute physiology score (SAPS) II and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) for ICU mortality (0.785 in S\/F ratio vs. 0.575 in SAPS II, p = 0.012; 0.785 in S\/F ratio vs 0.594 in SOFA, p = 0.021) and for hospital mortality (0.701 in S\/F ratio vs. 0.502 in SAPS II, p = 0.012; 0.701 in S\/F ratio vs. 0.503 in SOFA, p = 0.005). In the subanalysis for bacterial pneumonia and interstitial lung disease groups, the AUC based on the S\/F ratio was the greatest among all prognostic markers, including APACHE II, SAPS II, and SOFA. The S\/F ratio may be a useful and noninvasive predictive prognostic marker for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure with bilateral opacities in the ICU.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0245927","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,25]],"date-time":"2021-01-25T18:39:28Z","timestamp":1611599968000},"page":"e0245927","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Utility of SpO2\/FiO2 ratio for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure with bilateral opacities in the ICU"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7087-1595","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yosuke","family":"Fukuda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akihiko","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tetsuya","family":"Homma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keisuke","family":"Kaneko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomoki","family":"Uno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akiko","family":"Fujiwara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshitaka","family":"Uchida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shintaro","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toru","family":"Kotani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hironori","family":"Sagara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0245927.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"82","DOI":"10.1186\/s13613-018-0424-4","article-title":"Hypoxemia in the ICU: prevalence, treatment, and outcome","volume":"8","author":"D Grimaldi","year":"2018","journal-title":"Ann Intensive Care"},{"key":"pone.0245927.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"788","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2016.0291","article-title":"Epidemiology, patterns of care, and mortality for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome in intensive care units in 50 countries","volume":"315","author":"G Bellani","year":"2016","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"pone.0245927.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1258","DOI":"10.1007\/s00134-011-2265-6","article-title":"Prognostic models for predicting mortality in elderly ICU patients: A systematic review","volume":"37","author":"L Minne","year":"2011","journal-title":"Intensive Care Med"},{"key":"pone.0245927.ref004","first-page":"719","article-title":"Mortality predicted by APACHE II.
