  1. P-scores represent the extent of certainty that a treatment is better than the other treatments—the P-score would be close to 1 when a treatment is certain to be the best and close to 0 when a treatment is certain to be the worst
  2. COT conventional oxygen therapy (bag-valve mask or facial mask), HFNC high-flow nasal cannula, NIV noninvasive ventilation, MD mean difference, OR odds ratio, NMA network meta-analysis
