At day 3 after diagnosis the population was divided into two groups: patients with CPIS ≥ 6 (group 1, n = 5) and patients with CPIS < 6 (group 2, n = 10).

The CPIS incorporates five variables: temperature (T°C), white blood cells (WBC), tracheal secretions, pO2/FiO2 and RX.

However, only those with a 'modified' clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) of five or greater, provided empirical antibiotics were delivered promptly (that is, day 1), were kept for analysis in the present work, as in the recently published 'STATIN-VAP' study, in order to include the patients with a sufficiently high level of suspicion regarding VAP diagnosis [ 22, 24, 25].
