Need for Mechanical Ventilation
Three studies reported on the need for mechanical ventilation in patients treated with Infliximab and no Infliximab. The meta-analysis demonstrated no significant difference between the Infliximab and no Infliximab groups in terms of need for mechanical ventilation (RR= 0.98, 95% CI: 0.65 to 1.48; P = 0.94, I2 = 30%) (Figure 4).
