| Summary: |
COVID-19 has caused a stir worldwide since its appearance at the end of 2019 according to its rapid spread throughout the world, becoming in a few months, a pandemic that has continued to this day. Despite the efforts of the World Health Organization, all laboratories and specialists, the virus is still present and under study due to the new variants and mutations that have been registered in recent months. For this reason, the world is analyzing each cohort and each outcome of patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19), particularly the most seriously ill who receive mechanical ventilation. The numbers that have been published are all over the place and some of them, like the very high mortality, are causing panic. Two important issues are at stake in these epidemiological studies. The first is when to intubate and assess rates of intubation and mechanical ventilation for hospitalized patients in cohorts from around the world. The second is the reported mortality for patients receiving mechanical ventilation. The presentation and interpretation of the data for both subjects is not straightforward and never has been. However, there are ways to improve the evaluation of these cohort studies. |
