Our early findings suggest that in pneumonia cases, including bacterial, fungal, and viral pneumonia diagnosis among 12,000 ICU admissions, the survival of the older population is less sensitive to the time lag between admission and start of ventilation than the survival of the younger population.
[ ] what is the difference between different age groups and/or other cohorts?
[ ] when we add other parameters, such as blood values, does this still hold true?
[ ] how much difference is there between bacterial, and viral caused pneumonia?
[ ] how much difference is there between viral and influenza caused pneumonia?
There is also the bigger questions of what avenues we might explore, with the potential to end up with insights that can help guide the question "if I have to choose between person-a and person-b in terms of which one gets ventilation for the next few hours, which one will it be?".
