Overview

The incidence of ARDS is estimated to be 1.5 to 75 cases per 100,000 individuals per year worldwide. The reported incidence varies geographically and is higher in the United States than in other countries.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

No reliable comparative epidemiological data of ARDS are available due to the evolution of the diagnostic criteria.[1] The exact incidence of ARDS as defined by the Berlin definition remains unclear.

Worldwide, the incidence of ARDS ranges from 1.5 to 75 cases per 100,000 person-years.[2] Most studies report the incidence rate of approximately 2 to 8 cases per 100,000 person-years.[3]

In the United States, the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) suggested an estimated incidence at 150,000 new cases annually, which translates to a population-based figure of 71 cases per 100,000 person-years.[4] Data from a population-based study reported the crude and age-adjusted incidence of 58.7 and 64.0 cases per 100,000 person-years.[5]

In the United Kingdom, the incidence of ARDS is 4.5 cases per 100,000 person-years.[6]

In Europe, the incidence of ARDS ranges from 4.9 to 13.5 cases per 100,000 person-years.[7][8][9][10][11]

Mortality

According to the NHLI Task Force Report, the mortality rate of ARDS varies from 25% with optimal care to 70% in the absence of treatment.[12] Report from the American-European Consensus Conference quoted a range of mortality from 10% to as high as 90%.[13] Data from population-based studies suggest that the mortality rate ranges from 34.0% to 57.9%.[14][15][16][17]

Age

The incidence of ARDS increases with age. Data from a population-based study indicated that the groups with the lowest and highest age-specific incidence are 15 through 19 years of age and 75 through 84 years of age, respectively. Mortality also increases with age from a minimum of 24% among those 15 through 19 years old to 60% among those 85 years or older.[18]

Gender

Women are slightly more commonly affected with ARDS than men. However, the mortality rate is slightly higher among men than women.[19][20]

Race

There is no racial predilection for the development of ARDS. However, African-American race is associated with an increased mortality among patients with ARDS.[19]
