Comorbid burden at <scp>ICU</scp> admission in <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 compared to sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome
Patients admitted to ICU with sepsis or ARDS carry a heavier burden of comorbidity and high age than patients admitted with COVID-19. This is likely caused by a combination of: (1) respiratory failure in COVID-19 being less dependent on comorbidities than in other forms of ARDS, and the cause of critical illness in other infections causing sepsis and (2) COVID-19 patients being deferred admission in situations where patients with the other syndromes were admitted.
