Description
Summary:[...]additional information on health care-related quality of life, independence to activities of daily living, cognitive functions, and socioeconomic status would have provided benefit in not only streamlining treatment plan but also improving the psychosocial well-being of patients with HM [5,6]. [...]as the study highlights, one of the key determinants for 6-month survival of critically ill HM patients was the use of mechanical ventilation, either invasive mechanical or noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV).
