Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) represents the severe end of a spectrum of acute lung injury due to many different insults. It manifests as acute and persistent lung inflammation with increased lung permeability. Aim of the study: To assess the current incidence, risk factors and outcome of acute respiratory distress syndrome at Nasser Institute ICU during the period from January 2019 till the end of July 2019. Methodology: The study enrolled 50 patients who were admitted to Nasser Institute ICU and met the Berlin criteria for ARDS during the study period. Results: The incidence of ARDS was (3.12%), 54% of which were severe, 26% were moderate, and 20% were mild. Mortality rate was 52%, 88.46% of which were severe cases. Severity index was positively correlated with mortality rate (P- value <0.001). Pneumonia with sepsis was the most common risk factor (74%) and had statistically significant positive correlation with mortality (P 50.017). Conclusion: Incidence of ARDS was relatively small at our institute (3.12%), yet, it has a serious and a potentially fatal outcome with high mortality rate (52%). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
