| Treatment | Sample size | Pooled results | Analytic effect model | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Estimate | 95% CI | P value | |||
| Maximum FiO2 | 1270 | MD –0.27 | –0.89, 0.34 | 0.39 | Random-effect model |
| HFNC | 118 | OR 0.50 | 0.20, 1.23 | 0.13 | Fixed effect model |
| NMV | 1501 | OR 0.87 | 0.48, 1.58 | 0.66 | Random-effect model |
| IMV | 1771 | OR 3.58 | 2.47, 5.20 | <0.0001 | Random-effect model |
| MV | 3272 | OR 2.21 | 1.30, 3.75 | 0.003 | Random-effect model |
COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019, HFNC = high-flow nasal cannula, IMV = invasive mechanical ventilation, MD = mean difference, MV = Mechanical ventilation, NMV = noninvasive mechanical ventilation, OR = odds ratio, PE = pulmonary embolism.
