- Mortality rate [ Time Frame: up to 28 days ]All cause mortality
- Clinical status assessed according to the official guideline [ Time Frame: up to 28 days ]1.mild type:no No symptoms, Imaging examination showed no signs of pneumonia; 2,moderate type: with fever or respiratory symptoms,Imaging examination showed signs of pneumonia, SpO2>93% without oxygen inhalation ; severe type:Match any of the following:a. R≥30bpm;b.Pulse Oxygen Saturation(SpO2)≤93% without oxygen inhalation,c. PaO2/FiO2(fraction of inspired oxygen )≤300mmHg ;4. Critically type:match any of the follow: a. need mechanical ventilation; b. shock; c. (multiple organ dysfunction syndrome) MODS
- The differences in oxygen intake methods [ Time Frame: up to 28 days ]Pulse Oxygen Saturation(SpO2)>93%,1. No need for supplemental oxygenation; 2. nasal catheter oxygen inhalation(oxygen concentration%,The oxygen flow rate:L/min);3. Mask oxygen inhalation(oxygen concentration%,The oxygen flow rate:L/min);4. Noninvasive ventilator oxygen supply(Ventilation mode,oxygen concentration%,The oxygen flow rate:L/min,);5. Invasive ventilator oxygen supply(Ventilation mode,oxygen concentration%,The oxygen flow rate:L/min,).
- Duration (days) of supplemental oxygenation [ Time Frame: up to 28 days ]days
- Duration (days) of mechanical ventilation [ Time Frame: up to 28 days ]days
- The mean PaO2/FiO2 [ Time Frame: up to 28 days ]
- Length of hospital stay (days) [ Time Frame: up to 28 days ]days
- Length of ICU stay (days) [ Time Frame: up to 28 days ]days
- Pulmonary function [ Time Frame: up to 3 months after discharge ]forced expiratory volume at one second ,maximum voluntary ventilation at 1month,2month,3month after discharge
