Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Disease Understanding

ARDS is a rapidly progressive disease occurring in critically ill patients. The major complication in ARDS is marked by leakage of fluid into the lungs, making breathing difficult or impossible. It is a severe lung condition that causes low blood oxygen. People who develop ARDS are usually ill due to another disease or a major injury which leads to fluid build-up inside the tiny air sacs of the lungs, and surfactant breakdown.

The causes of ARDS are divided into two categories: direct or indirect injuries to the lung. Some of the direct injuries to the lung include pneumonia, aspiration, trauma, and others. Whereas the indirect injuries to the lung include inflammation of the pancreas, severe infection (also known as sepsis), blood transfusions, burns, and medication reactions.

Usually, the first symptom of ARDS is shortness of breath, cough, and fever. Other signs and symptoms of ARDS are low blood oxygen, rapid breathing, clicking, bubbling, or rattling sounds in the lungs when breathing.

ARDS is generally characterized by three stages such as exudative stage, fibroproliferative (or proliferative) stage, resolution, and recovery stage. The exudative stage is the accumulation of protein, excessive fluid and inflammatory cells in the alveoli occur in the exudative stage. This phase usually is seen within the first 2 to 4 days after the onset of lung injury. Fibroproliferative (or proliferative) stage is the proliferation of connective tissue and other structural elements in the lungs in response to the initial lung injury. The chances of a patient having pneumonia sepsis and rupture of the lungs are very high in this stage. Resolution and Recovery are in this stage, the lung reorganizes and recovers. During this stage, lung function may continue to improve in patients. The fourth phase of ARDS is also seen according to some experts in which when some patients due to acute illness have continued health problems while some may experience anxiety, depression, and flashback memories of their critical illness, which are very similar to post-traumatic stress disorder. This stage is still an area under research.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Diagnosis

Early recognition of ARDS is important for the timely initiation of lung-protective ventilation strategies. Even after attempts to improve the definition of the disease, ARDS remains under-recognized by clinicians. Oftentimes, when a diagnosis is made, it has been after a significant delay. The rate of under-diagnosis is reported to be as high as 40%, with higher rates of diagnosis with increasing disease severity. ARDS is a syndrome with several different clinical criteria that must be fulfilled; however, none of these data points is particularly precise. The current clinical criteria have low specificity, for example, 63% for the Berlin definition to identify DAD at autopsy. At present, no biomarker is present to aid in the diagnosis, and this is now an area of much active research.

Chest X-rays for the diagnosis of ARDS have relatively low sensitivity and specificity of approximately 70% when compared to CT scans. CXR performs better when the infiltrates are diffuse or patchy as opposed to focal. The use of CT scans and other imaging techniques in the diagnosis and management of ARDS has become increasingly important. Lung ultrasound is another modality that can be used as a bedside tool to facilitate the diagnosis of ARDS.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Epidemiology Perspective by DelveInsight

The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Incident Cases of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Severity-specific Cases of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, and Incident Cases of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome by Risk Factors scenario of ARDS in the 7MM covering the United States, the EU-5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) and Japan from 2019 to 2032.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Detailed Epidemiology Segmentation

• In 2021, the total incident cases of ARDS were estimated to be 1,088,015 cases in the 7MM. These cases are expected to increase by 2032 at a CAGR of 1.5% during the study period (2019-2032).
• Among the 7MM, the United States has the highest number of incident cases of ARDS with approximately 630,584 cases in 2021.
• Assessments as per DelveInsight's, analysts show that in terms of severity-specific incidence, a similar trend is observed in all countries, with a majority of the cases pointing to moderate ARDS, except France, where severe cases of ARDS accounted for a maximum patient population.
• Generally, among the 7MM countries, the primary risk factor associated with the highest number of incident cases of ARDS was pneumonia, except for the United Kingdom, where sepsis was the primary risk factor for ARDS
• In the United States, there were a total of 189,175, 293,852, and 147,557 severity-specific cases of mild, moderate, and severe ARDS respectively, in 2021. Assessments as per DelveInsight's, analysts show that the majority of cases of ARDS are of moderate ARDS, followed by mild and severe and this is subject to change due to a rapid increase in the coming years.
• Among the EU-5, Germany had the highest total incident population of ARDS with 193,828 cases, followed by France (73,541 cases), and Italy with 55,522 cases in 2021. On the other hand, Spain (31,286 cases) had the lowest incident population for 2021.
• In 2021, Japan had approximately 69,628 total incident cases of ARDS which are expected to increase by 2032 at a CAGR of 0.5% during the study period (2019-2032).
