Abstract

The aim of this correspondence is to amend a mistake in our original article [1], and to recalculate our meta-analyses for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and mortality outcomes. The updated analysis suggests that SSD has a favourable impact in the incidence of VAP rates but will have a limited impact on other outcomes, such as shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU length-of-stay, and lower mortality rates https://bit.ly/3rEuzPI
