Data were collected including medication, mode and usage of the NRS (i.e. high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), noninvasive ventilation(NIV)), length of stay in hospital, endotracheal intubation(ETI) and deaths. Variables recorded for each patient were obtained for the period from March 1 st until May 10 th 2020 and included the following: demographics (age, sex), comorbidities (type and number), respiratory condition at admission (respiratory rate (RR), PaO 2 /FiO 2 ratio), medications (type of drugs prescribed), mode and usage of the NRS (ventilatory settings for NIV and CPAP, and flow rate for HFNC), and stay in hospital (days). ./cache/cord-344641-rog2h4g7.txt ./txt/cord-344641-rog2h4g7.txt
