This variability in preferences is intertwined with resources and always will be a huge factor in understanding the data coming out of different countries; for example, in 2008, Gray and colleagues published a large randomized controlled trial comparing noninvasive ventilation to conventional oxygen therapy for patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Similarly, information on care preferences, such as how many patients preferred not to receive mechanical ventilation (because of age, comorbidity, or other personal preference) would aid in interpreting data, such as when reporting that only 20.2% of those who died with COVID-19 received this intervention (12) .	./cache/cord-272071-445ivhx0.txt	./txt/cord-272071-445ivhx0.txt
