Classification
The current ARDS diagnostic criteria (commonly referred to as the Berlin Criteria or Berlin Definition) were established by the ARDS Definition Task Force in 2012. The Berlin Criteria classify ARDS as mild, moderate, and severe based on the degree of oxygenation impairment and serve as a means of risk-stratifying patients.[1]
