New Study Shows Nearly 9 in 10 Covid-19 Patients on Ventilators Don’t Make ItBy Robert LangrethApril 23, 2020, 4:42 AM GMT+10Researchers tracked 2,634 outcomes in NY-area hospitals Only 3% of those over 65 on ventilators survived, report saysA giant study that examined outcomes for more than 2,600 patients found an extraordinarily high 88% death rate among Covid-19 patients in the New York City area who had to be placed on mechanical devices to help them breathe.The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, is one of the largest reviews published to date of Covid-19 patients hospitalized in the U.S. The researchers examined outcomes for coronavirus patients who were admitted between March 1 and April 4 to 12 hospitals in New York City and Long Island that are part of the Northwell Health system.Overall, the researchers reported that 553 patients died, or 21%. But among the 12% of very sick patients that needed ventilators to breathe, the death rate rose to 88%. The rate was particularly awful for patients over 65 who were placed on a machine, with just 3% of those patients surviving, according to the results. Men had a higher mortality rate than women. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-22/almost-9-in-10-covid-19-patients-on-ventilators-died-in-study?cmpid=BBD042220_BIZ&utm... 1/2 4/23/2020 Coronavirus Ventilator Death Rate: Study Shows 9/10 Don't Make It - Bloomberg“The findings of high mortality rates among ventilated patients are similar to smaller case series reports of critically ill patients in the US,” the authors wrote in the paper.
