  1. Only regressions with P < 0.05 are shown; all regression models include age, Charlson age–comorbidity score (CCS), number of organ dysfunctions on the day of open lung biopsy (OLB), PaO2/FiO2 ratioon the day of OLB, days from mechanical ventilation to OLB, OLB-initiated treatment change, and development of mechanical complications after OLB. CI, confidence interval.
