The dynamic SOFA score during the first 5 days was a predictor of high disability in non-COVID ARDS

We also compared the 180-day SOFA score trajectories stratified by the BI and etiology of ARDS (COVID-19 ARDS and non-COVID ARDS) using a linear mixed model (Fig. Line diagram of SOFA score stratified by Barthel index at 180 days and COVID-19 ARDS (Mixed effects model results showing the relationship between SOFA score, Barthel index at day 180, and COVID-19To reduce collinearity, the variables COVID yes and Barthel index were labeled as follows: not: − 0.5 and yes: 0.5 and time was centered*High disability: Barthel index 0–60No differences were observed between the group COVID-19 ARDS vs. non-COVID ARDS on the mean SOFA score (In patients without COVID-19 ARDS, low vs. high disability at day 180 was significantly positively associated with higher SOFA score over time (β = 3.52, 95% CI 0.69; 6.35,
