First, it is one of the largest cohorts of COVID–19 patients in which tracheostomy practice was analyzed. Second, we used data captured over the entire first wave of the pandemic in the Netherlands, encompassing about 40% of all ICU patients admitted during that time. Third, university, non–university, teaching and non–teaching centers were involved, increasing the generalizability of this study. Fourth, hospitals that were invited but did not participate were unable to do so only because of administrative and regulatory barriers, unrelated to the workload and possible lack of time on the ICU. This makes selection bias unlikely. Fifth, the exact date of publication of the tracheostomy guideline amendment was known, giving accurate insight into its influence on practice of tracheostomy. Sixth, our statistical analysis plan was published before analysis of the data, preventing reporting bias.</p><p id="para0027" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The incidence of tracheostomy in the current cohort of COVID–19 patients is slightly higher than in LUNG SAFE,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0016"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a> a large service review in which 13% of ARDS patients received a tracheostomy.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0017"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> LUNG SAFE patients were ventilated for a shorter duration and represent a more heterogeneous population of ARDS patients, possibly explaining this difference.

Placement of a tracheostomy canula can be unsafe in patients with severely compromised gas–exchange because of the unavoidable loss in positive airway pressure, delaying the procedure until improvement of oxygenation is seen. In addition, tracheostomy could have been postponed by health care providers out of fear of viral transmission, preferably waiting for a decrease in viral load.</p><p id="para0029" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Practice of tracheostomy is difficult to compare to other cohorts of invasively ventilated COVID–19 patients because of the large variability seen in both incidence and timing in a number of identified studies.

Therefore, it is possible that international advice regarding tracheostomy practice, released early on in the pandemic of 2020, was followed even before publication of the amendment of national guidelines. As it was already national practice to delay tracheostomy until at least 10 days after intubation, it would not have been a significant change in mindset.</p><p id="para0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Earlier timing of tracheostomy had an association with shorter duration of ventilation in this cohort. Freeing patients from the ventilator as soon as possible is particularly valuable when there is a surge of patients needing to be treated in a pandemic. However, earlier tracheostomy was also associated with a higher mortality. This association was found after correcting for factors possibly having an independent association with outcome, such as hemodynamic and respiratory problems. It is likely that this association is the result of immortal time bias and not an actual cause and effect. This phenomenon is introduced when patients cannot experience a certain outcome during a period of follow–up. In this analysis, patients in the later tracheostomy group already had survived 21 days before being categorized. This period is quite long, which may have increased the magnitude of bias.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0044"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">43</span></a></p><p id="para0031" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study has limitations. We had 99 patients with an unknown tracheostomy status due to transfer to a non–participating hospital. In addition, we did not collect local guidelines on tracheostomy practice, making it unclear what decisions were precisely based on. Different approaches to clinical decisions from each center may have influenced outcomes. We didn't collect data on PPE and tracheostomy kit shortages and cannot determine the effect this had on timing. Whether a surgical or percutaneous technique was used for placement of tracheostomy was not recorded, which could have given additional insight into tracheostomy practice in the Netherlands. Ventilation data was restricted to the first four days of admission and therefore are unknown directly before placement of tracheostomy. Furthermore, data regarding incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP), other infections and sepsis were not collected; as these factors could influence both timing of tracheostomy and outcome, this is a limitation. Finally, use of additional therapies such as antibiotics, steroids and anticoagulants is unknown in our cohort, which could also have influenced outcome.</p></span><span id="sec0013" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cesectitle0019">Conclusion</span><p id="para0032" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study gives insight into the practice of tracheostomy in invasively ventilated COVID–19 patients in the Netherlands. The results suggest that earlier timing of tracheostomy is associated with a shorter duration of ventilation, which would be of crucial benefit in overloaded ICUs. However, because this study also suggested a higher mortality in patients who received earlier tracheostomy, future studies are needed to determine whether earlier tracheostomy has a positive influence on outcome in COVID–19 patients. It remains unclear which factors influenced timing of tracheostomy during the first wave of the pandemic.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:8 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1641838" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abss0001" "titulo" => "Objective" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abss0002" "titulo" => "Methods" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abss0003" "titulo" => "Results" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abss0004" "titulo" => "Conclusions" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1463680" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0001" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 3 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0002" "titulo" => "Methods" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0003" "titulo" => "Study design, patients and data collection" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0004" "titulo" => "Endpoints" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "National Dutch guidelines on tracheostomy" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0006" "titulo" => "Statistical analysis" ] ] ] 4 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0007" "titulo" => "Results" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0008" "titulo" => "Patients" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0009" "titulo" => "Incidence of tracheostomy" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Timing of tracheostomy" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0011" "titulo" => "Factors associated with timing and performance of tracheostomy" ] ] ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0012" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0013" "titulo" => "Conclusion" ] 7 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2021-04-19" "fechaAceptado" => "2021-08-04" "PalabrasClave" => array:1 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1463680" "palabras" => array:7 [ 0 => "Ventilation management" 1 => "Tracheostomy" 2 => "Acute respiratory failure" 3 => "ARDS" 4 => "Covid-19" 5 => "Coronavirus 2019" 6 => "SARS-COV-2" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:1 [ "en" => array:3 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abss0001" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cesectitle0002">Objective</span><p id="spara009" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Invasively ventilated patients with acute respiratory failure related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID–19) potentially benefit from tracheostomy.
