We believe that the evidence arising from various studies across the globe largely supports the 'favorable outcome hypothesis in developing countries', i.e. developing countries have a larger proportion of patients with a good outcome and lesser percentage with a worst outcome as compared to developed countries, albeit amidst the controversies discussed by us.
Conclusion: The use of NIMV can be considered as an alternative to endotracheal intubation in hypercapnic patients while the benefit of its use has not been proven in severe hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2 ratio less than 100) at least in our group of patients and it actually may lead to a worst outcome.
The authors argued that a worst outcome may be related to delay in patient care.

Patients with HER2-all-A profile experienced the worst outcome, patients with HER2-FISH− profile showed an intermediate behaviour and patients with HER2-FISH+* profile were related to the highest survival probability (median PFS in months: 2.5 vs 3.9 vs 7.6, respectively; median OS in months: 4.2 vs 9.7 vs 13, respectively).
HER2-all-A patients had the worst outcome, HER2-FISH− were in the middle and HER2-FISH+* showed the highest survival probability.
Because there are greater interests when one party defies while the other complies, both parties are tempted to simultaneously defy, resulting in ([Defy, Defy]) as a equilibrium: the worst outcome out of the four.
Moreover, β-catenin lower expression associated with gain in Slug expression predicts a subgroup with worst outcome (P=0.001).
a Variables with worst outcome highlighted in bold for covariates significantly associated with OS.b Multivariate analysis included LN status and stratified tumor size besides the tested covariate.c High and Low FGA defined as >75th percentile and <25th percentile of all FGA values respectively.
Furthermore, it is hard to imagine that 2016 will come up with what history suggests is the worst outcome; a Republican President and a Democrat Congress.
