Objective: To investigate the prognostic factors in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients focusing on the use of prone positioning (PP).
Design And Setting: Retrospective study conducted in an intensive care unit of a university hospital.
Patients: All consecutive mechanically ventilated ARDS patients surviving on day 7 after the diagnosis of ARDS.
Methods: The study included all ARDS patients who survived more than 7 days after ARDS diagnosis between January 1995 and December 2002. Demographic and respiratory variables were collected on day 1, and the management of ARDS was analyzed during the first 7 days ( n=125). We performed a univariate analysis and a stepwise logistic regression analysis comparing survivors and nonsurvivors on day 28 and at 2 and 6 months.
Results: Mortality rates on day 28 and at 2 and 6 months were 21.6%, 32%, and 44% respectively. A SAPS II score less than 49, McCabe score, and the use of PP introduced in the first 7 days of ARDS management appeared to be independently correlated with a decrease in mortality.
Conclusions: The SAPS II score, the McCabe score, and use of PP are independently correlated with the outcome in ARDS patients.

Background: Sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are common inflammatory conditions in intensive care, with ARDS significantly increasing mortality in septic patients. PANoptosis, a newly discovered form of programmed cell death involving multiple cell death pathways, plays a critical role in inflammatory diseases. This study aims to elucidate the PANoptosis-related genes (PRGs) and their involvement in the progression of sepsis to ARDS.

Adult ARDS patients hospitalized during the COVID-19 pandemic were strictly isolated and had limited to no visitation from loved ones, impacting their access to support systems.
Objective: To explore the memories and sensory triggers for them (if applicable) of adult ARDS survivors hospitalized during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: To establish a prediction nomogram for early prediction of neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (NARDS).
Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study conducted between January 2021 and December 2023. Clinical characteristics and laboratory results of cases with neonatal pneumonia were compared in terms of presence of NARDS diagnosis based on the Montreux Definition.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and APACHE II score for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) resulting from wasp stings.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, including patients who suffered wasp stings and developed ARDS between January 2018 and November 2024 in the Shiyan area of Hubei province. Based on the 28-day prognosis, patients were categorized into two groups: survivors (n = 21) and non-survivors (n = 25).
