Diagnosis and prognosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome related to diffuse pneumonic-type adenocarcinoma: a single-center case series study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The absence of diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) concerns 20% of cancer patients and is associated with poorer outcomes. Diffuse pneumonic-type adenocarcinoma (P-ADC) is part of these difficult-to-diagnose ARDS, but only limited data are available regarding critically ill patients with diffuse P-ADC.

Methods

Single-center observational case series study. All consecutive patients admitted to the ICU over a two-decade period presenting with (I) histologically or cytologically proven adenocarcinoma of the lung and (II) ARDS according to Berlin definition were included.
