Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence and Outcomes of Acute Lung Injury

TL;DR: It is estimated that each year in the United States there are 190,600 cases of acute lung injury, which are associated with 74,500 deaths and 3.6 million hospital days, considerably higher than previous reports have suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and Safety of Corticosteroids for Persistent Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

TL;DR: A multicenter, randomized controlled trial of corticosteroids in patients with persistent acute respiratory distress syndrome found that methylprednisolone improved survival and biochemical markers of inflammation and fibroproliferation, and infectious complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical predictors of the adult respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: Of the ARDS cases, 76 percent occurred in the initial 24 hours after meeting the criteria, and ARDS did not occur after 72 hours unless there was late development of sepsis (3 of 136 patients).
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory cytokines in patients with persistence of the acute respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: IL-8 and ENA-78 were the cytokines most strongly and consistently correlated with PMN concentrations in the lung fluids of patients with ARDS, and the correlations were independent of the other cytokines or coexisting lung infection.
