This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Background:
Non-invasive respiratory therapies (NIRTs) (high flow nasal cannula and non-invasive ventilation) are widely used in COVID-19 patients who developed acute respiratory failure. However, use of these therapies may delay initiation of invasive mechanical ventilation in some patients and hence worsen their outcome. This study set out to identify early predictors of NIRT failure and to develop a simple-to-use nomogram and an online calculator identifying patients at high risk of NIRT failure.Methods:
A retrospective cohort of 652 COVID-19 patients with ARF who received NIRTs, was used to develop early predictors of NIRT failure, defined as subsequent need for invasive mechanical ventilation or death within 28 days after ICU admission. Multivariate logistic analysis was used to develop the nomogram and ten-fold cross-validation was applied to internally validate the stability of the model.Findings:
The failure rate of NITRs was 63% (415/652). The ROX index (ratio of pulse oximetry oxygen saturation/fraction of inspired oxygen to respiratory rate), age, GCS score, and use of vasoprEssors on the first day of NIRTs were independent risk factors for NIRT failure (RAGE factors). Based on the multivariate analysis, the RAGE nomogram for NIRTs failure had a C-statistics of 0 . 83 (95% CI0 . 80–0 . 87). An internal validation demonstrated that the mean C-statistic remained stable (C-statistics=0 . 84±0 . 03). Internal calibration was excellent (calibration slope=1).Interpretation:
The nomogram and online calculator are relatively simple-to-use and able to predict the risk of NIRT failure in COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure.
