The evolution of radiographic edema in ARDS and its association with clinical outcomes: a prospective cohort study in adult patients
Purpose To assess the longitudinal evolution of radiographic edema using chest X-rays
(CXR) in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and to examine its
association with prognostic biomarkers, ARDS subphenotypes and outcomes. Materials and
methods We quantified radiographic edema on CXRs from patients with ARDS or
cardiogenic pulmonary edema (controls) using the Radiographic Assessment of Lung
Edema (RALE) score on day of intubation and up to 10 days after. We measured baseline …
