Predicting Failure at Initiation of High‐Flow Nasal Oxygen in Patients With COVID‐19: Literature Review, Development and Internal Validation of a Prediction Model

Respirology, EarlyView.
A prediction model was developed for high‐flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) failure in acute hypoxemic patients with COVID‐19 pneumonia using predictors available prior to HFNO initiation. This stable and good‐performing model can assist in clinical decision‐making at a critical point, aiding timely intervention for patients at risk of HFNO failure.
