Interrater Variability in Identifying Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Using Six Different Definitions

Interrater Variability in Identifying Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Using Six Different Definitions

Objective There is no widely accepted standard definition for Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP). The reliability of the current definitions in use remains controversial. Our objective was to assess the reliability of six commonly used VAP definitions: The Loose, The Rigorous, The Modified Cli...
