Figure 1.
Patients receiving corticosteroids over time in Australian ICUs. The black line represents the cumulative number of patients receiving corticosteroids over time. The blue line represents the percentage (95% confidence interval) of patients receiving corticosteroids before any evidence was available (earlier than June 22, 2020), after the preprint release (between June 22, 2020, and July 17, 2020), and after the peer-reviewed publication (after July 17, 2020). The gray bars are the percentage of patients receiving corticosteroids per week. The number of patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) admitted to the ICU each week is reported along the x-axis. The total number of COVID-19 cases impacts the cumulative count in the post-preprint and postpublication time periods and should be taken into consideration when interpreting this figure. Pre = before preprint release.
