Timing of Intubation and In-Hospital Mortality in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019	2020-10-21		.txt	text/plain	3669	176	40	DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection who were admitted between January 30, 2020, and April 30, 2020, and underwent intubation and mechanical ventilation prior to May 1, 2020. Key Words: coronavirus disease 2019 infection; coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic; in-hospital mortality; intubation; mechanical ventilation; respiratory failure C oronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To address this critical knowledge gap, we aimed to determine whether there was an association between timing of intubation relative to hospital admission and mortality in patients with COVID-19 who underwent mechanical ventilation at the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City. Despite these limitations, our analysis indicated that increasing time from admission to intubation was associated with higher mortality in a cohort of patients requiring mechanical ventilation for severe COVID-19 early in the pandemic.	./cache/cord-340880-2qop8tcp.txt	./txt/cord-340880-2qop8tcp.txt
