Ethnicity and sex of critical care trial participants compared with hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). (A) Representation of nonwhites among COVID-19 intensive care admissions (60.2%) far exceeds their representation in multicenter clinical trials of critical illness over the last decade. (B) Representation of males among COVID-19 hospitalizations is mirrored by male preponderance in critical care clinical trials. Bubble size corresponds to trial sample size relative to other included trials. Trials were classified according to their main topical focus as acute respiratory failure (including pneumonia), nonpulmonary sepsis, cardiovascular, or other critical care. ICU = intensive care unit.
