  2. We entered age, sex, APACHE II score, intubation period, cough peak flow, hemoglobin, secretions, suction frequency, Glasgow Coma Scale score, heart rate, respiratory rate, rapid shallow breathing index, arterial blood gas tests, and use of NIV into multivariable analysis to identify independent risk factors for reintubation at 72 h and 7 days postextubation, and for death at 90 days postextubation
