Implication

Observational analysis shows elevated mortality in critically ill patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, highlighting key echocardiographic predictors.

Key Points

Impaired TAPSE and RA enlargement significantly increase in-hospital mortality in critically ill PAH patients.
Echocardiographic markers showed an area under the curve of 0.84 for predicting 1-year mortality rates.
Cox regression revealed that right ventricular function metrics are critical for assessing mortality risk in these patients.
The random survival forest model identified the importance of comprehensive echocardiographic assessment for mortality prediction.
