Impact of body position on diaphragmatic thickening fraction in the patients who experienced or not noninvasive ventilation failure within 48 h following study completion. Boxes and whiskers represent median, 25th–75th percentile, and minimum-to-maximum interval of diaphragmatic thickening fractions acquired in supine and prone position. Hollow boxes refer to patients who experienced NIV failure while grey boxes refer to patients with NIV success. *p = 0.008, NIV failure versus NIV success, refers to mixed model analysis carried out with Satterthwaite methods of degrees of freedom. NIV, noninvasive ventilation
