title: A clinical scoring system for adult respiratory distress. Preliminary report of its use in heart disease.
abstract: A clinical scoring method for assessing adult respiratory distress and the need for mechanical ventilation was matched against simultaneous blood-gas analysis in 27 patients with grave heart disease. The results showed little correlation between the two. Possible reasons for this are discussed.
