The Brussels score was developed through a series of consensus conferences including the antioxidants in ARDS Study Group (Chicago, July 1993), the Acute Lung Injury SCOR Coordination Group (Bethesda, September 1993), and the Roundtable Group on the Design of Clinical Trials for Sepsis (Brussels, March 1994)[1].
