Comparison between first and second wave among critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to a French ICU: no prognostic improvement during the second wave?
"We therefore compared the characteristics and the outcome between patients admitted to our 41-bed COVID-19 ICU for acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19 (RT-PCR positive for SARS-CoV-2) during the first wave (from March 13th to May 27th, 2020) and those admitted to our 18-bed ICU during the second wave (from August 19th to December 7th, 2020).
ICU mortality (50% vs. 52%, p = 0.96) and duration of ICU stay did not differ between the two waves."
