Comparison of Early and Late Intubation in COVID-19 and Its Effect on Mortality
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
I read the paper "Comparison of Early and Late Intubation in COVID-19 and its Effect on Mortality" with great pleasure. The authors suggested, that patients intubated in the emergency department had an in-hospital mortality rate of 63.3% compared to patients intubated outside of the emergency department, who had in-hospital mortality of 41.6%. This is very interesting information. Undoubtedly, this topic requires further research. However, in my opinion, it is a very well-written research paper in all respects. Therefore, without a doubt, I recommend this work for publication.
