Correction to: Clinical features, ventilatory management, and outcome of ARDS caused by COVID-19 are similar to other causes of ARDS.

The original version of this article unfortunately contained mistakes in Figures 1 and 3.

Correction to: Intensive Care Med 10.1007/s00134-020-06192-2

The original version of this article unfortunately contained mistakes in Figs. 1 and 3. The corrected versions can be found below. We apologize for the mistake.

Fig. 1

Patients flowchart. A total of 742 patients were followed-up for 28 days and stratified as mild, moderate and severe ARDS based on baseline PaO2/FiO2. ARDS acute respiratory distress syndrome, PaO2/FiO2 partial pressure of arterial oxygen to inspiratory oxygen fraction ratio

Time to event curves using Kaplan–Meier with univariable Cox regression. The probability of discontinuation from mechanical ventilation and the probability of ICU discharge increase with decreasing ARDS. The 28-day probability of death was higher in severe ARDS.

There were also mistakes in the Abstract. In the Results section it should read:

The risk of 28‑day mortality was lower in mild ARDS [hazard ratio (RR) 0.60 (95%CI 0.39-0.92); p=0.021] and moderate ARDS [hazard ratio (RR) 0.71 (0.53-0.97); p=0.029] when compared to severe ARDS.

In addition, there were several mistakes in the Clinical outcomes. The first sentence should read: Mean VFDs (to day 30) was 4 [IQR: 0–18] days.

Another corrected sentence should read: The risk of 28-day mortality was lower in mild ARDS [hazard ratio (RR) 0.60 (95%CI 0.39-0.92); p=0.021] and moderate ARDS [hazard ratio (RR) 0.71 (0.53-0.97); p=0.029] compared to severe ARDS (Fig. 3).
