A Systematic Review It is commonly stated and assumed that mortality from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is decreasing.We found that mortality from ARDS has not decreased substantially since the publication of a consensus definition in 1994. Based on our findings, a baseline mortality risk from ARDS of 40 to 45% for observational studies and 35 to 40% for randomized control trials should be expected. These results highlight the need for future effective therapeutic interventions for this highly lethal syndrome.https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/full/10.1164/rccm.200805-722oc From Up To Date:Numerous studies suggest that survival has improved over time [2,9,10,11]. As an example, an observational study of 2451 patients who had enrolled in ARDSNet randomized trials found a fall in mortality from 35 to 26 percent between 1996 and 2005 [10]. To the extent that mortality may be decreasing with time, several issues should be considered:● It is not known if mortality has decreased among patients who received their care outside of a specialized center or a clinical trial.● The improved mortality may be attributable to patients who have ARDS related to risk factors other than sepsis, such as trauma [9].● To the extent that mortality has decreased, the reasons are uncertain. Likely causes include better supportive care and improved ventilatory strategies, such as low tidal volume ventilation [10,12,13]Early Goal-Directed Therapy in the Treatment of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock by Emanuel Rivers https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa010307 Early Goal Directed Therapy from NephMadness 2015 https://ajkdblog.org/2015/03/01/nephmadness-2015-critical-care-nephrology-region/#Early Counter point by NSMC graduate Kamran Boka https://ajkdblog.org/2015/03/18/nephmadness-2015-process-arise-promise-and-the-promise-of-early-goal-directed-therapy/ Furosemide stress test https://jasn.asnjournals.org/content/26/8/2023 EM Crit looks at the furosemide stress test: https://emcrit.org/pulmcrit/furosemide-stress-test/ ASN Kidney Week Biomarker debate between Faubel and Koyner. https://www.asn-online.org/education/kidneyweek/2020/program-session-details.aspx?sessId=371699&sessPar=371678 NAD therapy Samir Parikh Don Seldin Young Investigator Award winner 2019.Sarah Faubel’s Dream RCT https://ukidney.com/nephrology-resources/dream-rct-initiative/dream-rct-entries/item/nephrologist-driven-rrt-usual-late-or-early-start-for-acute-kidney-injury Perry Wilson’s DreamRCT https://www.medpagetoday.com/Nephrology/DreamRCT/53876 Steve Coca on “Permissive AKI” with treatment of heart failure https://www.kidney-international.org/article/S0085-2538(19)30708-2/pdf Edward Clark on HIRRT: Mechanisms for hemodynamic instability related to renal replacement therapy: a narrative review https
