Detailed Description
All adults (>18 years) with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure due to diagnosed COVID-19 pneumonia and admitted to ICU from 01/02/2020 until 31/07/2021 were included in the study. Following the World Health Organisation (WHO) protocol 19, laboratory confirmation of COVID-19 infection was defined as a positive result on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays of nasopharyngeal swab samples or bronchoalveolar lavage. Only laboratory-confirmed patients were included in the analysis.
