The mortality rate in Wuhan and Seattle were much higher (61% and 50%, respectively) compared with the other reported ICU cohorts ranging from 26% to 33% (Table 1 and Figure 1 ). The mortality rate among mechanically ventilated patients was much higher in the Wuhan study (81%) than in the other case series (34% to 36%) ( Table 1) . The younger age, lower SOFA score, and a higher rate of prone position might explain the mortality difference between our and the reported studies (Table 1) Our data, along with the recent findings, suggest that the mortality rate in ICU COVID-19 patients are comparable and might be lower than those observed with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by other viral infections [6] .	./cache/cord-258582-ksfs27kv.txt	./txt/cord-258582-ksfs27kv.txt
