The respiratory support included low-flow or high-flow oxygen therapy via nasal cannula or mask; noninvasive or invasive positive pressure ventilation; or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) . Previous studies have reported that older age and male sex were risk factors for poor prognosis in COVID-19 patients, with limited information about the need for respiratory support 4, 5 . Among all patients, high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy, noninvasive positive pressure ventilation and invasive positive pressure ventilation were given to 60 (3.3%), 135 (7.5%), 104 (5.8%) patients, respectively, with increased requirement for this amongst male and older patients. ./cache/cord-301189-6sq1pfo8.txt ./txt/cord-301189-6sq1pfo8.txt
