[en] Retrospectively analyzing the data of a multicenter cohort,
we observed that mortality of patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumoniatreated
with mechanical ventilation was as high as 45% and median
survival time was 82 days. In this series, the risk factors for mortality
included age, renal and circulatory dysfunction, lymphopenia and the
absence of corticosteroid use during the first week of mechanical ventilation.
Corticosteroid therapy during the first week of mechanical ventilation
was associated with a lower mortality (34% vs 48%) (p = 0,01).
