Table 3 Multivariate Cox model for the rate of invasive mechanical ventilation and in-hospital mortality

From: Comparison between high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) alternated with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and HFNO and NIV alone in patients with COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study

 

Unadjusted model

Adjusted by CT score

Adjusted by the presence of at least one co-morbidity

Adjusted by SpO2/FiO2

Adjusted by CT score, presence of at least one co-morbidity and SpO2/FiO2
