Overview
The incidence of ARDS in the United States is estimated at approximately 75 cases per 100,000 individuals, which amounts to roughly 150,000 new cases annually. There is substantial variance in the rates of ARDS between different countries and geographic regions due to factors such as mean life expectancy, prevalence of different risk factors and comorbidities, and access to healthcare.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
No reliable comparative epidemiological data of ARDS are available due to the evolution of the diagnostic criteria.[1] The incidence of ARDS as defined by the Berlin definition remains unclear.
Worldwide, the incidence of ARDS ranges from 1.5 to 75 cases per 100,000 person-years.[2] Most studies report the incidence rate of approximately 2 to 8 cases per 100,000 person-years.[3]
In the United States, the National Heart and Lung Institute suggested an estimated incidence of 75 cases per 100,000 person-years.[4] Data from a population-based study reported the crude and age-adjusted incidence of 58.7 and 64.0 cases per 100,000 person-years.[5]
In the United Kingdom, the incidence of ARDS is 4.5 cases per 100,000 person-years.[6]
Age
Patients of all age groups may develop ARDS, however, it occurs more commonly in the elderly.
Gender
Women are slightly more commonly affected with ARDS than men, however, the mortality rate is slightly higher among men than women.[7][8]
Race
There is no racial predilection to the development of ARDS. However, in the United States the mortality rate among African Americans with ARDS is higher than among whites.[7]
