Fig. 3

Scatterplots demonstrating the correlation between lung ultrasound score (LUS) and lung dysfunction. The graphs show pooled average data for all 3 days for survivors and non-survivors. EVLWI, extravascular lung water indexed to predicted body weight; P/F PaO2/FiO2; SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment score; LIS, lung injury score. Significant positive linear correlations were found between LUS and EVLWI, SOFA, LIS, P/F (r2 = 0.906, 0.815, 0.361, 0.472, P < 0.01)
