Study suggests overall COVID-19 intensive care mortality has fallen by a third since the start of the pandemic

A systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies from three continents published in the journal Anaesthesia (a journal of the Association of Anaesthetists) shows that overall mortality of COVID-19 patients in intensive care units (ICUs) has fallen from almost 60% at the end of March to 42% at the end of May—a relative decrease of almost one third.
