Definition of abbreviations: ARDS: Acute respiratory distress syndrome; CT: Computed tomography; DLCO: Diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide corrected by hemoglobin; CI: Confidence interval; Highlights: Statistically significance with a p-value<0.05.

a

Values expressed as Odds ratios.

b

values expressed as Hazard ratios.

c

Logistic regression model adjusted by age, sex, hypertension, BMI, smoking status, ferritin levels, and D-dimer levels at baseline.

d

Cox proportional hazard model adjusted by Age, gender, hypertension, BMI, smoking status, ARDS, awake vigil prone positioning, steroid usage, IMV, NMB, tracheotomy, and days on IMV), total time with oxyhemoglobin saturation below 90%, Oxygen desaturation index 3%, lowest SpO2.
