Risk factors for in-hospital mortality in older patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study
The primary risk factors for in-hospital mortality in patients older than 60 years were age, the use of IMV, the severity of C-ARDS, use of steroids and elevated LDH values. Among patients older than 80 years, the main risk factor for in-hospital mortality was the use of IMV. In cases of C-ARDS in older patients, the decision to initiate IMV should always be individualized; therefore, the use of alternative oxygen delivery systems as the first-line approach can be considered.
