RespP/F Ratio

Key indicator of oxygenation failure severity. Berlin definition: mild ARDS < 300, moderate < 200, severe < 100.

RespA-a Gradient

Differentiates causes of hypoxaemia. Elevated gradient suggests V/Q mismatch, shunt or diffusion defect.

RespSTOP-BANG

Screens for moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnoea using 8 clinical variables. Score ≥3 warrants further evaluation; ≥5 has high sensitivity for severe OSA.

RespPSI/PORT Score

Stratifies CAP severity. Classes I-II: outpatient; Class III: short admission or observation; Classes IV-V: inpatient/ICU.
