Prone Position in COVID-19 and -COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: An International Multicenter Observational Comparative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Prone position is used in acute respiratory distress syndrome and in coronavirus disease 2019 acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, it is unclear how responders may be identified and whether an oxygenation response improves outcome. The objective of this study was to quantify the response to prone position, describe the differences between coronavirus disease 2019 acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute respiratory distress syndrome, and explore variables associated with survival.

Design

Retrospective, observational, multicenter, international cohort study.

Setting

Seven ICUs in Italy, United Kingdom, and France.

Patients

Three hundred seventy-six adults (220 coronavirus disease 2019 acute respiratory distress syndrome and 156 acute res
