Median time taken to develop clinical feature/complication from illness onset (days) | Conclusions | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Study and number of patients | Dyspnea | Requiring hospital admission | ARDS | Requiring mechanical ventilation | Requiring ICU admission | |
Wang et al. 2020 (n = 138) | 5 | 7 | 8 Developed in 20% of patients after 8 days. |
N/A Implemented in 12.3% of patients. |
N/A 26.1% of patients required ICU admission. |
Both studies suggest that ARDS manifests shortly after the onset of dyspnea. |
