Other causes of ARDS were unclear

RV injury includes RV dysfunction, RV dysfunction with hemodynamic compromise, RV failure, or acute cor-pulmonale in the studies

*The numbers were described for patients with only ACP or without ACP and PFO (Patients with only PFO or with PFO and ACP were excluded)

**The value was reported as median with interquartile range

***The summation of each number did not fit the reported total number

The standard deviation could not be calculated

The numbers and percentages are per total population included in the study but not all patients were evaluated for RVD/ACP. Therefore, the total numbers were different from actually analyzed number of patients
