a

Mixed effects model, adjusted for patient-level fixed effects (IC diagnosis, age, gender, PIM-2 score) and center-level fixed effects (mean monthly volume of tracheal intubations), restricted to patients who received HFNC prior to tracheal intubation. For each category of IC status, patients intubated without pre-intubation exposure to HFNC serve as the reference group.

IC: Immunocompromised; HCT: hematopoietic cell transplant; aOR: adjusted odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; HFNC: high-flow nasal cannula; NIPPV: noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.
