Differences in outcome measures for unilateral vs bilateral consolidations in PALICC population

	Unilateral	Bilateral	p-value
PICU mortality, in %	9.3%	26.3%	0.025*
Ventilator free days, median (IQR) in days	20 [14.5–23]	16.5 [0–21]	0.019*
PICU length of stay, median (IQR) in days	8 [5–13]	10 [7.75–19.25]	0.030*
MV duration, median (IQR) in days	8 [5–11.5]	9 [6.75–14.25]	0.054

A significant lower mortality was found in the PALICC population with unilateral consolidations (9.3%) compared to bilateral consolidations (26.3%). For the cohort with unilateral consolidations also a significant difference was found in VFD (median 20 vs 16.5 days) and PICU length of stay (median 8 vs 10 days) compared to bilateral consolidations. No significant difference was found for the MV duration
