In comparison with the placebo group, the hydrocortisone group had a significantly higher PaO2/FiO2 ratio by day 3 (p = 0.03) and throughout the observation period. b Changes in Lung Injury Score over the course of 7 days and on day 14. In comparison with the placebo group, the hydrocortisone group had a significantly lower Lung Injury Score by day 3 (p = 0.003) and throughout the observation periodBack to article page
