Abstract
Quiz Ref ID Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute inflammatory lung injury, associated with increased pulmonary vascular permeability, increased lung weight, and loss of aerated lung tissue.1 Although prior epidemiologic studies have provided substantial insights into ARDS,2-5 there remains limited information about the epidemiology, recognition, management, and outcomes of patients with the ARDS, especially in the era of the current Berlin Definition.1 This definition was constructed empirically and validated using retrospective cohorts1; however, prospective studies of the Berlin Definition have been limited to small numbers of centers and patients.6,7Keywords
