Highlights |
• | In COVID-19, the definition of “early” vs. “delayed” intubation is controversial. |
• | A literal definition based on a duration criterion is mainly used. |
• | In this study, this temporal definition is compared to a clinical one. |
• | 50% of patients are mismatched using the temporal vs. the clinical definition. |
• | This could lead to difficulties in interpreting the results of studies on this matter. |
