PROBLEM: Question: Does the presence of the adult respiratory distress syndrome worsen mortality or discharge disability in blunt trauma patients with severe traumatic brain injury?
Answer: The presence of ARDS was not associated with higher mortality or worse discharge disability. It was, however, associated with higher hospital morbidity, longer ICU and hospital length of stay.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Question: Do simple counts of ADL dependencies adequately reflect older adults ' preferences toward states of functional impairment?
Answer: Our results suggest that the count of ADL dependencies does not adequately represent the utility for a health state. Cost-effectiveness analyses and other evaluations of programs that prevent or treat functional dependency should apply utility weights rather than relying on simple ADL counts.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Question: Are impaired oxygen on-kinetics in persons with human immunodeficiency virus due to highly active antiretroviral therapy?
Answer: Oxygen on-kinetics during submaximal exercise above the ventilatory threshold was impaired in HIV-positive participants compared with a control group, and it appeared that the attenuated oxygen on-kinetic response was primarily caused by HIV infection rather than HAART.

SOLUTION:
no
