Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute severe lung disease. It most often develops in those admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU), and can be caused by a number of 'triggers', which include trauma to the lungs and pneumonia. ARDS is characterised by wide-spread diffuse injury to the alveolar-capillary membrane, pulmonary inflammation and increased pulmonary vascular permeability. This results in protein-rich non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, refractory hypoxaemia and acute respiratory failure.

This report provides the current prevalent population for ARDS across 11 Major Markets (USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, Brazil, Poland, Turkey and Netherlands) split by gender and 5-year age cohort. Along with the current prevalence, the report also contains a disease overview of the risk factors, disease diagnosis and prognosis along with specific variations by geography and ethnicity.

Providing a value-added level of insight from the analysis team, several of the main symptoms and co-morbidities of ARDS have been quantified and presented alongside the overall prevalence figures. These sub-populations within the main disease are also included at a country level across the 10-year forecast snapshot.
