COVID-19 Related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome versus Classical Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients: Inflammatory Biomarkers as Predictors of Mortality in Pulmonary Septic Shock

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)-related severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) differs pathophysiological from other pulmonary septic shock-related ARDS. Thus, we assessed whether all-cause in-hospital mortality differs for severe COVID-19-related and classical severe ARDS and which inflammatory biomarkers can predict mortality among these patients.
