What's Next After ARDS: Long-Term Outcomes

Abstract: SummaryARDS is a life-threatening organ failure due to several pulmonary and extrapulmonary injuries with an incidence between 5 and 60 cases/100,000 persons/y. Patients with ARDS have non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema and dyspnea often requiring invasive mechanical ventilation and intensive care admission. Although the short-term mortality rate has significantly decreased in the last decade, mainly due to the widespread application of lung-protective ventilation and better general support, long-term outcomes ar… Show more

“…Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a devastating lung condition. Currently, it is the leading cause of death and disability in critically ill patients, with a mortality rate that ranges between 26% and 50% 1–3. ARDS is an inflammatory state; characterised by infiltration of mixed inflammatory cells, diffuse destruction of the alveolar–capillary barrier, severe oedema, consequent hypoxaemia and increase in lung density 4 5.…”

“…The strategic focus of ARDS research, however, has shifted toward identifying patients at a high risk of developing or dying from ARDS. In this regard, the concept of individualized therapeutic approaches for ARDS patients is promising and might contribute to the improvement in ARDS outcomes [ 23 , 26 ]. Reliable biomarkers might be both useful for (1) the identification of patients at risk for developing ARDS and (2) for monitoring treatment progress on the ICU.…”

“…When exceeding this threshold, mortality risk more than tripled in our ARDS population. When considering the high mortality risk being inherent to ARDS, a more than tripled risk of death is of considerable impact [ 25 , 26 ]. Interestingly, in the present study, NRBCs were not only independent predictors of mortality but also had high discriminatory power with respect to pulmonary gas exchange and organ failure.…”

“…Approximately 25% of mechanically ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients have ARDS [ 3 ] and, despite advances in supportive care, ICU mortality rates are still 35–40% and increase with the severity of hypoxemia. Many patients with ARDS also have persistent morbidity after discharge [ 4 ].…”
