The mortality rate was 53.2%. However, mortality was strongly associated with time to intubation (survival: 0.51±1.80 days vs death: 0.91±2.84 days; P <. 001). In addition, for each elapsed day between ICU admission and intubation, mortality was higher (odds ratio [OR], 1.38; 95% CI, 1.26-1.52; P <.
