The incidence of CRGN infections in critically ill COVID-19 patients is not different from that of non-COVID-19 ICU patients. The higher mortality of COVID-19 patients in the ICU is associated with higher disease severity scores, a higher incidence of obesity, and multiple underlying comorbidities, but not with CRGN infections.
