Inclusion criteria and ARDS: Plenty of ARDS data o
Post# of 151766

It was pointed out that patients with partial pressure under 150mmHg are excluded from the trial, and that 150 is the midpoint of the moderate ARDS range (100-200).
First reference I came upon:
[ARDS] Mortality increases with disease severity; unadjusted hospital mortality was reported to be 35 percent among those with mild ARDS, 40 percent for those with moderate disease, and 46 percent for patients with severe ARDS [4].

Looks supportive. Guess it matters how typical co-morbidities compare with Covid.
