Multicenter StudyEpidemiology, clinical presentation, and outcomes of 620 patients with eosinophilia in the intensive care unit.
Although eosinophil-induced manifestations can be life-threatening, studies focusing on the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of eosinophilia in the intensive care unit (ICU) are lacking. ⋯ Eosinophilia ≥ 1 × 109/L is not uncommon in the ICU. According to the timing of eosinophilia, two subsets of patients requiring different etiological workups and management can be distinguished.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyLong-term outcomes of patients with COVID-19 treated with helmet noninvasive ventilation or usual respiratory support: follow-up study of the Helmet-COVID randomized clinical trial.
To evaluate whether helmet noninvasive ventilation compared to usual respiratory support reduces 180-day mortality and improves health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19 pneumonia. ⋯ Helmet noninvasive ventilation did not reduce 180-day mortality or improve HRQoL compared to usual respiratory support among patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19 pneumonia.
