Hi
@arianaeunjung &@washingtonpost (&@JAMA_current), lots of folks are citing your headline re nearly 90% mortality among vented pts. But I worry that a MD might cite this to a family considering stopping care for futility. Thats not accurate.

John W Scott, MD MPH @DrJohnScottTHREAD: Lots of alarm over the
88% Mortality
among #Covid19 patients on ventilators. The paper *should* say "Among pts on vents, mortality will range from 25-97%". This@JAMA_current study is a great for a JournalClub on "Beware Your Denominator"
