Purpose: To describe the epidemiology of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a Brazilian ICU. Methods: This prospective observational, non-interventional study, included all consecutive patients with ARDS criteria [1] admitted in the ICU of a Brazilian tertiary hospital, between January 1997 and September 2001. Were collected in a prospective fashion the following variables: age, gender, APACHE II score at ICU admission and at ARDS diagnosis, cause of ARDS, presence of AIDS, cancer and immunosuppression, occurrence of barotrauma, performance of traqueostomy, mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), length of stay (LOS) in ICU and in hospital. The lung injury score (LIS) [2] was used to quantify the degree of pulmonary injury in the first week of ARDS.

Epidemiology of ARDS in a Brazilian ICU
Results: There was 2182 patients (P) admitted in ICU during the
study period, of whom 141 (6.46%) had ARDS criteria. Seventy-six
(54%) were men, the mean age was 46 18 years, APACHE II
18 7 and 19 7 at admission and at ARDS diagnosis,
respectively. Septic shock accounted for 42% (60 P) of the ARDS
causes, sepsis 22% (31 P), diffuse pulmonary infection
16% (23 P), aspiration pneumonia 11% (15 P), non-septic shock
5% (7 P) and others 4% (5 P). Ten percent (14 P) had AIDS,
30% (43 P) cancer and 25% (36 P) immunosuppression. All
patients were mechanically ventilated with Tidal Volume between
4 and 8 ml/kg. Only 3.5% (5 P) had barotrauma and 10% (14 P)
performed traqueostomy. Mortality rate was 79% in the ICU. The
patients required 12 10 days on MV, ranging from 1 to 55 days.
The LOS in ICU and hospital was 14 13 (169) days and
28 32 (1325) days, respectively. There was a time delay of
3.7 4.5 days between admission in ICU and the onset of ARDS.
The Murray score (mean SD) was 3.2 0.4, 3 0.5, 3 0.5,
2.9 0.6, 2.8 0.7, 2.7 0.7 and 2.6 0.8 in the first 7 days,
respectively.
Conclusions: ARDS in our hospital has a similar incidence of
reports in the USA and Europe. There was a higher mortality,
which could be explained by a high incidence of infection causes
of ARDS, mainly septic shock, and elevated combined occurrence
of AIDS, cancer and immunosuppression, along the degree of LIS.
The incidence of barotrauma was low, as a consequence of the
current mechanical ventilation strategies.
Role of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in ARDS mortality
Methods: This cohort study includes all consecutive patients with
ARDS criteria [1] admitted in the ICU between January 1997 and
September 2001. Were collected in a prospective fashion the following
variables: age, gender, APACHE II score at the ARDS diagnosis, the
occurrence of organ dysfunction determined by the multiple organ
dysfunction syndrome (MODS) [2] in the first week, and mortality in the
ICU. The occurrence of organ/syste (...truncated)
