The coronavirus pandemic has claimed the lives of millions of people. However, a recent study by American scientists revealed unexpected results regarding the causes of death - it turned out that numerous fatalities were not directly related to the SARS-CoV-2 virus or the "cytokine storm".

A research team from Northwestern University in the USA analyzed data from more than 500 patients with COVID-19. Of these, 190 people were hospitalized due to complications from the disease, and all had breathing problems. Some patients recovered, others died.

As a result of the analysis conducted using artificial intelligence technologies, scientists determined that the cause of death was not an immune reaction caused by COVID-19, but bacterial pneumonia (VAP - ventilator-associated pneumonia), which developed after patients were connected to mechanical ventilation machines.

According to the study results, patients connected to mechanical ventilation machines often develop bacterial infections, which leads to their death.
