Cumulative incidence curves for mechanical ventilation duration (a) and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (b). Fourteen participants survived to ICU discharge (8 active (dark grey), 6 control (light grey)). One control participant was transferred to another hospital before extubation and as such was censored from both the ventilation duration and ICU length of stay analysis. After extubation, one control participant withdrew consent and one was withdrawn due to threatening behaviour, both were censored from the ICU length of stay analysis. Competing events were death or withdrawal of treatment (e.g., ventilator support) with the intention of subsequent death (marked with a dark grey asterisk). Participants who were censored are represented by a light grey asterisk. ICU intensive care unit
