1Statistical significance of differences in mortality among ventilaton categories is based on ML chi-square test.

Percentage in brackets indicates the number of deaths from the total number of patients with the clinical syndrome and ventilation mode from Table 5. ADHF - Acute decompensated heart failure, AHF - Acute heart failure, NIV - Non-invasive ventilation.
