Data in N/N total (%) or Median (IQR). In ordinal scaled parameters testing for normal distribution and calculation of P values with Welch test or Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test. P values of nominal scaled parameter calculated with Fisher’s exact test. SEM = standard error of the mean. ARDS = acute respiratory distress syndrome. IQR = interquartile range. Ct = cyclic threshold.
