    Background: To describe respiratory coinfections, predictive factors and outcomes in patients requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) with COVID-19. Methods: Cohort study, carried out in a Chilean single tertiary Hospital. All patients with COVID-19 admitted to ICU that required MV were included between 1 June and 31 July 2020 Results: 175 patients were admitted to ICU and required MV. Of these, 71 patients developed at least one respiratory coinfection (40.6 %). Early coinfections and late coinfections were diagnosed in 1.7% and 31.4% of all patients admitted to ICU respectively. Within late coinfections, 88% were bacterial, 10% were fungal, and 2% were viral coinfections. One third of isolated bacteria were multidrug-resistant. Multivariate analysis showed that the risk for coinfection was 7.7 times higher for patients with history of corticosteroids (adOR = 7.65, CI 95%: 1.04-56.2, p=0,046) and 2.7 times higher for patients that received dexamethasone during hospitalization (adOR=2.69; CI 95%: 1.14-6.35, p=0,024) than patients that were not exposed. For each additional day in MV, the risk of coinfection increases 1.1 times (adOR=1.06; CI 95%: 1.01-1.11, p=0,025)
