PICU Patients At-Risk for PARDS Approximately 2-4% of patients admitted to PICUs suffer from paediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). PARDS has a mortality rate of nearly 20% and has no specific treatment. Identifying children at risk of developing PARDS could potentially result in more targeted therapies to prevent disease progression and improve patient outcomes.  Children At Risk for PARDS (ARF-PARDS) are identified using criteria establis...
