Table 2 Lab Values. Table 2 looks at lab values within 24 h of admittance to a traditional ICU (first admissions only) for the referent cohort and admittance to Expansion ICUs for the Expansion cohort. p-values and q-values were generated to examine differences in mean lab values for both cohorts

From: Patient care in rapid-expansion intensive care units during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis
