Figure S2. This figure shows a Kaplan-Meier curve for hospital survival of immunocompromised patients according to the ventilation subgroup. This figure shows a Kaplan-Meier curve for hospital survival of immunocompromised patients according to the ventilation subgroup. Mortality is defined as mortality at hospital discharge or at 90Â days after onset of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, whichever event occurred first. We assumed that patients discharged alive from the hospital before 90Â days were alive on day 90. Type of ventilator support: IMV Patients invasively ventilated from day 1, independently of the type of support received after the eventual extubation; NIV Patients treated exclusively with noninvasive ventilation, from day 1 to study exit, independently of outcome; NIV failure Patients initially treated with noninvasive ventilation and subsequently intubated during the study period. Note: The number of patients reported in the bottom of the figure is referred to as the end of the corresponding day. (PDF 396Â kb)
