          Abstract

          Background

          There is need to identify biomarkers for prognosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ADRS). This may allow early and accurate identification of patients with high‐risk ARDS to guide adjustment of clinical treatment and nursing intervention, which would ultimately improve prognosis of patients with ARDS. Biomarkers based on a combination of fasting glucose and lymphocyte counts to predict prognosis in critically ill patients with ARDS remain undefined. In this study, we investigated the association between glucose‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (GLR) and in‐hospital mortality.

          Methods

          The study obtained data from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care‐IV (MIMIC‐IV Version 1.0) database. We defined the GLR as fasting glucose/lymphocyte count and the patient in‐hospital mortality was considered as the outcome. In addition, we employed linear and logistic regression models for analysis.

          Results

          In total, 1,085 patients with ARDS were included in this study. The eligible participants included 498 female and 587 males, with a mean age of 64.2 ± 17.5 years. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that higher GLR was an independent risk factor for all‐cause mortality (OR =1.67, 95% CI: 1.26–2.22) after adjusting for age, sex, anion gap, white blood cell count, congestive heart failure, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), SBP, DBP, and respiratory rate in both the dichotomized group and subgroups. We also analyzed the in‐hospital mortality to ROC curves by comparing the value between SOFA + GLR and SOFA. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.6991 for the SOFA + GLR (95% CI: 0.6634–0.7348), and 0.6613 for the SOFA (95% CI: 0.6238–0.6988).

          Conclusion

          Our data showed that the GLR was an independent predictor of in‐hospital mortality for patients with ARDS. The GLR is an integrated, readily available clinical biomarker for mortality in patients with ARDS.

          Acute respiratory distress syndrome: the Berlin Definition.

          The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was defined in 1994 by the American-European Consensus Conference (AECC); since then, issues regarding the reliability and validity of this definition have emerged. Using a consensus process, a panel of experts convened in 2011 (an initiative of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine endorsed by the American Thoracic Society and the Society of Critical Care Medicine) developed the Berlin Definition, focusing on feasibility, reliability, validity, and objective evaluation of its performance. A draft definition proposed 3 mutually exclusive categories of ARDS based on degree of hypoxemia: mild (200 mm Hg < PaO2/FIO2 ≤ 300 mm Hg), moderate (100 mm Hg < PaO2/FIO2 ≤ 200 mm Hg), and severe (PaO2/FIO2 ≤ 100 mm Hg) and 4 ancillary variables for severe ARDS: radiographic severity, respiratory system compliance (≤40 mL/cm H2O), positive end-expiratory pressure (≥10 cm H2O), and corrected expired volume per minute (≥10 L/min). The draft Berlin Definition was empirically evaluated using patient-level meta-analysis of 4188 patients with ARDS from 4 multicenter clinical data sets and 269 patients with ARDS from 3 single-center data sets containing physiologic information. The 4 ancillary variables did not contribute to the predictive validity of severe ARDS for mortality and were removed from the definition. Using the Berlin Definition, stages of mild, moderate, and severe ARDS were associated with increased mortality (27%; 95% CI, 24%-30%; 32%; 95% CI, 29%-34%; and 45%; 95% CI, 42%-48%, respectively; P < .001) and increased median duration of mechanical ventilation in survivors (5 days; interquartile [IQR], 2-11; 7 days; IQR, 4-14; and 9 days; IQR, 5-17, respectively; P < .001). Compared with the AECC definition, the final Berlin Definition had better predictive validity for mortality, with an area under the receiver operating curve of 0.577 (95% CI, 0.561-0.593) vs 0.536 (95% CI, 0.520-0.553; P < .001). This updated and revised Berlin Definition for ARDS addresses a number of the limitations of the AECC definition. The approach of combining consensus discussions with empirical evaluation may serve as a model to create more accurate, evidence-based, critical illness syndrome definitions and to better inform clinical care, research, and health services planning.

            Contribution of neutrophils to acute lung injury.

            Treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) and its most severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), remain unsolved problems of intensive care medicine. ALI/ARDS are characterized by lung edema due to increased permeability of the alveolar-capillary barrier and subsequent impairment of arterial oxygenation. Lung edema, endothelial and epithelial injury are accompanied by an influx of neutrophils into the interstitium and broncheoalveolar space. Hence, activation and recruitment of neutrophils are regarded to play a key role in progression of ALI/ARDS. Neutrophils are the first cells to be recruited to the site of inflammation and have a potent antimicrobial armour that includes oxidants, proteinases and cationic peptides. Under pathological circumstances, however, unregulated release of these microbicidal compounds into the extracellular space paradoxically can damage host tissues. This review focuses on the mechanisms of neutrophil recruitment into the lung and on the contribution of neutrophils to tissue damage in ALI.

              Cytokine-mediated inflammation in acute lung injury.

              Clinical acute lung injury (ALI) is a major cause of acute respiratory failure in critically ill patients. There is considerable experimental and clinical evidence that pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines play a major role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory-induced lung injury from sepsis, pneumonia, aspiration, and shock. A recent multi-center clinical trial found that a lung-protective ventilatory strategy reduces mortality by 22% in patients with ALI. Interestingly, this protective ventilatory strategy was associated with a marked reduction in the number of neutrophils and the concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines released into the airspaces of the injured lung. Further research is needed to establish the contribution of cytokines to both the pathogenesis and resolution of ALI.
