Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) - Epidemiology Forecast - 2032
DelveInsight's ‘Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome- Epidemiology Forecast–2032' report delivers an in-depth understanding of the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, historical and forecasted epidemiology as well as the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome trends in the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) and Japan.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Disease Understanding
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) 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. In ARDS, fluid builds up inside the tiny air sacs of the lungs, and surfactant breaks down.
ARDS may develop over a few days, or it can get worse very quickly. Usually, the first symptom of ARDS is shortness of breath. Besides, other signs and symptoms of ARDS are low blood oxygen, rapid breathing, and 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.
