World Bank - Gross National Income Categories
ARDS Outcome
• ARDS Demographics– European pts older; Greater ARDS Severity Profile
– ROW pts greater systemic illness severity (SOFA)
• Ventilator Management Approaches– Lower Tidal volumes in ROW-High Income patients
– Greater Oxygen use in European patients
• Use of Adjunctive Measures– Greater NMB use and Prone positioning use in Europe
– Recruitment maneuver use greatest in Middle Income countries
ARDS Demographics and Management
• Duration of MV and ICU Length of Stay– Longer in Europe than in ROW HI countries (after adjustment for covariates)
– Not explained by differences in national SE status
– Differences in patient management [Tidal volume; Oxygen; Other?]
• No association between ICU level variables and Outcome– Effects not explained by differences in ICU organization or staffing
Effect of Income on Outcome in ARDS
• Greater national per capita income was associated with increased patient survival from ARDS. – National rather than patient level indices [World Bank]
– Effects not explained by differences in ICU organization or staffing
• Association rather than ‘cause and effect’ linkage– Not necessarily reflecting differences in quality of critical care
– Potentially explained by differences in:• Access to critical care
• Public health / Preventive medicine
• Further evidence of effect of socioeconomic status on outcomes from critical illnesses
Income and Mortality in ARDS
• Nearly 13,000 patients
• Over 1,000 LUNG SAFE Investigators in ICUs across the Globe– 666 ICUs registered patients for LUNG SAFE
– 475 ICUs validated patients into the study
• National coordinators in over 50 countries
• LUNG SAFE Steering Group and Executive Committee– Giacomo Bellani
