Oxygenation by helmet, high flow didn't affect mortality in COVID-19, studies find
One trial randomized patients to helmet noninvasive ventilation or usual forms of respiratory support and found no differences. Another comparing high-flow and standard oxygen found a decrease in intubation rate with the former, but no change in any other outcome.

Biomarkers may predict which medications are effective for patients hospitalized for COVID-19
Two studies looked at biomarkers that could be used to identify high-risk hospital patients who would likely benefit from medications for COVID-19, while another recent analysis provided reassuring data on the aftereffects of acute kidney injury during COVID-19 hospitalization.
