We manually reviewed the medical chart to extract timing of initiation and cessation of prone positioning from clinician or nursing documentation. Based on risk set sampling, only nonintubated proning documented prior to IMV or inhospital mortality for cases, or prior to corresponding index time for matched controls was included in our statistical analysis.
