Epidemiological trends of mechanically ventilated acute respiratory distress syndrome in the twenty-first century: a nationwide, population-based retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a prevalent respiratory condition associated with significant mortality. Current literature on ARDS epidemiology reports a wide range of incidence (7.2-78.9/100,000 population/year), hospital mortality (32-51%), and associated costs ($8476-$547,974). We have analyzed epidemiological trends of mechanically ventilated ARDS (MV-ARDS) in Spain from 2000 to 2022 using the Minimum Basic Data Set (MBDS), focusing on MV-ARDS incidence, associated mortality, and economic impact.

Methods

We conducted a nationwide, population-based retrospective study of all hospitalizations for MV-ARDS in Spanish hospitals-from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2022-using MBDS records, with an estimated coverage of 99.5%. The study reports MV-ARDS in
