A  retrospective comparison between influenza and COVID-19-associated ARDS in a Croatian tertiary care center.

CONCLUSION: High mortality of IMV patients with influenza and COVID 19 with 55% and 63%, respectively, challenges and urges medical and especially ICU community to expand our quest for further treatments, especially since ECMO use that is scarcely required in COVID 19 patients probably has limited impact in reducing mortality in COVID 19 patients.
