Air leakage is a strong risk factor for pneumonia-related acute respiratory distress syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of patients presenting to emergency departments because of pneumonia is gradually increasing. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious complication of pneumonia, is associated with high mortality rates, making its early identification crucial. We therefore conducted a retrospective analysis of patients admitted to our emergency department with pneumonia, aiming to screen for clinical factors associated with the development of ARDS.

Methods

This was a retrospective study of patients admitted to the emergency department of a hospital in Beijing because of pneumonia from 1 January 2015 to 30 July 2021. Baseline characteristics, comorbidities, complications, etiological information, and imaging findings were collected. Least absolute shrinkage
