Factors related to mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a lower middle-income country: A retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with a high mortality rate, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where the quality of pre-hospital or inter-hospital care can significantly impact patient outcomes. This study aimed to investigate mortality rates and associated factors among ARDS patients in Vietnam.

Methods

This retrospective observational study included adult ARDS patients admitted to a central hospital in Vietnam from August 2015 to August 2023. Data was collected on inter-hospital care, patient characteristics, management, and outcomes; comparisons were made between survivors and non-survivors, and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors independently associated with hospital mortality.
