Whereas patients with RA who never smoked had more decline in percent-predicted forced expiratory volume in one second
Marked Increase in Pediatric RSV Hospitalizations Seen Postpandemic
Additionally, there have been higher advanced respiratory support needs in older children with fewer comorbidities than prepandemic

Median number of attempts to achieve successful intubation was one in video-laryngoscopy group
Benefit of Thick Liquids in Alzheimer Disease and Dysphagia Unclear
Patients receiving thick versus thin liquids less likely to be intubated, more likely to have respiratory complications
