Aetiology, outcomes & predictors of mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome from a tertiary care centre in north India

Abstract: Background & objectives:Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common disorder in critically ill patients and is associated with high mortality. There is a paucity of literature on this condition from developing countries. This prospective observational study was designed to find out the aetiology, outcomes and predictors of mortality in ARDS.Methods:Sixty four consecutive patients who satisfied American-European Consensus Conference (AECC) definition of ARDS from medical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of … Show more

“…The increase of hs-CRP, an important marker for poor prognosis in acute respiratory distress syndrome 12,13 , reflects a persistent state of inflammation 14 . The result of this persistent inflammatory response is large grey-white lesions in the lungs of patients with COVID-19 (seen in autopsy) 15 .…”

“…Higher serum hs-CRP could also be used to predict the risk of death in severe COVID-19 patients. The increase of hs-CRP, an important marker for poor prognosis in ARDS 7,8 , reflects the persistent state of inflammation 9 . The result of this persistent inflammatory response is large grey-white lesions in the lungs of patients with COVID-19 (what was seen in the autopsy) 10 .…”

“…Overall, ARDS mortality is described around 40 to 50% [ 6 , 32 ] and malaria associated ARDS mortality ranged from 20 to 95% in developing countries [ 10 12 ]. In our study, in-hospital case-fatality ratio was 6.3% in the ARDS group.…”
