Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our study has the following limitations. First, a small part of the data was collected retrospectively, leading to potential incompleteness and inaccuracy for some variables. We mitigated this limitation by designating a team of researchers to verify and complete the data. Second, our study was mainly descriptive due to the small sample size, and more rigorous evidence is needed for illustrating the benefits of using COT in early stage. Third, the findings reported in our study might not be generalizable to populations with completely different impact of the pandemic and government strategies. Multi-strategy management, including early identification and timely critical care provided by establishing provisional ICUs is feasible and effective in treating severe COVID-19. Respiratory support, conventional oxygen therapy in particular, should be sufficiently prepared.
