  1. Data are presented as n (%). ICU intensive care unit, HFNC high-flow nasal cannula, NIV noninvasive ventilation, IMV invasive mechanical ventilation, NA data not available. *Data on disposition available for 1581 out of 1591 patients in the study by Grasselli et al., hence the denominator for ICU outcomes is 3788 rather than 3798
