Abstract: The RALE score can be used to assess both the extent of pulmonary oedema and the severity of ARDS, by utilising information that is already obtained routinely, safely and inexpensively in every patient with ARDS. This novel non-invasive measure should be useful for assessing ARDS severity and monitoring response to therapy.

“…These findings, however, must be interpreted with caution, given that the respiratory variables used in LCA did not include measurements of pulmonary dead space nor a more quantitative measure of pulmonary edema on the chest radiograph, both of which have been shown to predict outcome in ARDS. [19, 20]…”

“…To quantify the extent of infection, a severity score was calculated by adapting and simplifying the Radiographic Assessment of Lung Edema (RALE) score proposed by Warren et al 19 A score of 0-4 was assigned to each lung depending on the extent of involvement by consolidation or GGO (0 = no involvement; 1 = <25%; 2 = 25-50%; 3 = 50-75%; 4 = >75% involvement). The scores for each lung were summed to produce the final severity score.…”

“…For each patient, the extension and severity of lung opacities were assessed on the first chest X-ray performed after the intubation by 2 independent observers who were unaware of the patient's clinical data, using the RALE score [15]. In this score, each quadrant is scored for extent of consolidation (from 0 to 4) and density of opacification (from 1 to 3).…”

“…The RALE score of the chest X-ray performed after intubation did not differ between the 2 groups (14.5 [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] in the highly recruitable patients group vs 19 [14.5-33], in the poorly recruitable patients group, p = 0.2); Additional file 5: Figure S5.…”
