Outcomes of noninvasive ventilation versus usual medical care in immunocompromised adults with acute respiratory failure. In Antonelli et al., P = for endotracheal intubation; P = 0.05 for ICU mortality; P = 0.17 for hospital mortality. In Hilbert et al., P <0.03 for all comparisons between noninvasive ventilation and control arm. Data from Antonelli et al., 2000 (top);17 Hilbert et al., 2001 (bottom).18
