Multicenter Study
Noninvasive ventilation for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in patients with COVID-19.
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is known to reduce intubation in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). We aimed to assess the outcomes of NIV application in COVID-19 patients with AHRF. ⋯ NIV is feasible in patients with COVID-19 and AHRF outside the intensive care unit, and it can be considered as a valuable option for the management of AHRF in these patients.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
CLIF-OF >9 predicts poor outcome in patients with Amanita phalloides poisoning.
Amanita phalloides poisoning with high mortality is rare but serious. The aim of this study is to identify the risk indicators of death in patients with Amanita phalloides poisoning and a good score tool to predict prognosis. ⋯ CLIF-OF (>9) within 24 h of admission is considered as a satisfactory and practical tool to predict a poor outcome of Amanita phalloides poisoning.
