Text: Patients who received oxygen plus continuous positive airway pressure had a lower intubation rate (1 % vs 10 % ; P =. 005 ; relative risk [RR], 0. 099 ; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0. 01-0. 76) and had a lower occurrence rate of pneumonia (2 % vs 10 %, RR, 0. 19 ; 95 % CI, 0. 04-0. 88 ; P =. 02), infection (3 % vs 10 %, RR, 0. 27 ; 95 % CI, 0. 07-0. 94 ; P =. 03), and sepsis (2 % vs 9 % ; RR, 0. 22 ; 95 % CI, 0. 04-0. 99 ; P =. 03) than did patients treated with oxygen alone.
