Abstract
Why predictors of failure rather than predictors of success? Because we believe that it is the failure of NIV, above all by culpably and unduly delaying intubation, which determines the outcome of the patient; on the other hand knowing that a patient has a good possibility of success should reassure us but certainly not let us lower our guard.
