Abstract

Introduction: Despite some new evidence, the use of noninvasive continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still an issue. In a large population of COVID- 19 patients treated with nCPAP we aimed to identify early factors associated with intubation. Methods: Post hoc analysis of an observational prospective-retrospective multicentre study performed in six Italian hospitals. We included in this analysis all patients treated with nCPAP outside ICU due to COVID-19 and candidate to intubation in case of nCPAP failure. We collected demographic and clinical data at hospital entrance and PaO2/ FiO2 percentage increase between Venturi mask ( PaO2/FiO- 2VENT) and nCPAP ( PaO2/FiO2nCPAP) i.e., ?PaO2/FiO2, calculated as ( PaO2/FiO2nCPAP - PaO2/ FiO2VENT)/ PaO2/ FiO2VENT x 100. Results: From March 1st to April 15th, a total of 397 patients with confirmed COVID-19 were treated with nCPAP with a full treatment therapeutic goal. Of these, 8% of the patients were excluded from the analysis as intubated on the same day nCPAP was started. Univariate analysis showed that among the demographic and clinical patients' characteristics, age (65 (IQR, 55-71) vs. 68 (IQR 58-73) years), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (518 (IQR, 360-676) U/L vs. 654 (IQR, 486-922) U/L), white blood cells (6.75(IQR, 5.11-8.91) × 103/?L vs. 7.04 (IQR, 5.17-10.00) × 103/?L) resulted significantly lower in patients succeeding nCPAP compared to those who failed nCPAP and were intubated. Percentage increase in PaO2/ FiO2 (87(IQR, 7-203) vs. 44(IQR,12-120)) was higher in patients who succeeded nCPAP compared to those who failed. Male gender was also significantly associated with intubation. A multivariate analysis adjusting for age, gender, Charlson comorbidity index, percentage increase in PaO2/ FiO2, lactate, white blood cell count, LDH and C-reactive protein levels led to an area under the curve of 0.77 and confirmed that age (relative risk, 1.023; 95% CI, 1.0
