We read with great interest the article recently published by Humaloja et al. “The Association Between Arterial Oxygen Level and Outcome in Neurocritically Ill Patients Is not Affected by Blood Pressure” [
1]. The authors examined the association between different partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO
2) and blood pressure patterns and 1-year mortality in various types of brain injury. The main results revealed that PaO
2 was not an independent predictor of mortality, whereas an higher mean arterial pressure (MAP) predicted lower mortality. After a careful reading of this article, we would suggest to the authors some explanations to their study conclusions. …
