Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between long-term blood glucose levels (measured by hemoglobin A1c, HbA1c) and the development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) among critically ill adults who are at risk for ARDS.
- It analyzes data from two cohorts, finding that patients with diabetes did not have a significantly higher risk of ARDS compared to nondiabetics; however, those with poorly controlled diabetes (high HbA1c) had an increased risk.
- While the findings were not consistent across both cohorts, the combined analysis suggests that high HbA1c levels could indicate an elevated risk for ARDS, particularly in patients with diabetes.

Acute lung injury (ALI) carries a high risk of mortality but has no established pharmacologic therapy. We previously found that experimental ALI occurs through natural killer (NK) cell NKG2D receptor activation and that the cognate human ligand, MICB, was associated with ALI after transplantation. To investigate the association of a common missense variant, , with ALI.
