Figure 2. — Probability of the successful discontinuation of mechanical ventilation or death within 28 days of the randomization.

Cumulative incidence curves of the successful discontinuation of mechanical ventilation (upper panel) and death (lower panel) according to the treatment allocation within 28 days of randomization. Low and high-dose dexamethasone are represented as solid and dashed lines, respectively. The unadjusted sub-distribution hazard ratio for the discontinuation of the mechanical ventilation and death of high-dose dexamethasone were 1.6 (95% CI: 1.1 to 2.33, P = .013) and 1.05 (95% CI: .77 to 1.45, P = .739) respectively.

Abbreviation: MV, mechanical ventilation; CI, confidence interval.
