Murphy, MD, PhD1,2,11; and the Emory COVID-19 Quality and Clinical Research Collaborative Objectives: To determine mortality rates among adults with critical illness from coronavirus disease 2019. Design: Observational cohort study of patients admitted from March 6, 2020, to April 17, 2020. Setting: Six coronavirus disease 2019 designated ICUs at three hospitals within an academic health center network in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Patients: Adults greater than or equal to 18 years old with confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome-CoV-2 disease who were admitted to an ICU during the study period. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: Among 217 critically ill patients, mortality for those who required mechanical ventilation was 35.7% (59/165), with 4.8% of patients (8/165) still on the ventilator at the time of this report. Overall mortality to date in this critically ill cohort is 30.9% (67/217) and 60.4% (131/217) patients have survived to hospital discharge. Mortality was significantly associ- *See also p. 1398. 1 Emory Critical Care Center (ECCC), Atlanta, GA. 2 Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Department of Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA. 3 Department of Epidemiology, Emory University Rollins School of Public Health, Atlanta, GA. 4 Department of Anesthesiology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA. 5 Department of Biomedical Informatics, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA. 6 Georgia Clinical and Translational Science Alliance (CTSA), Atlanta, GA. 7 Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA. 8 Department of Pathology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA. 9 Emory University Hospital, Emory Healthcare, Atlanta, GA. 10 Department of Surgery, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA. 11 Office of Quality and Risk, Emory Healthcare, Atlanta, GA.

Conclusions: Despite multiple reports of mortality rates exceeding 50% among critically ill adults with coronavirus disease 2019, particularly among those requiring mechanical ventilation, our early experience indicates that many patients survive their critical illness.
