Excerpt

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a critical illness characterized by severe lung inflammation and pulmonary oedema caused by increased alveolar permeability. Considerable etiological, physiological and biological heterogeneity is apparent in patients with ARDS, which has likely hampered clinical trials to show benefit of treatment strategies [1]. The promise of precision medicine is that outcomes can be improved through the identification of homogeneous groups (the so-called ARDS phenotypes) that do benefit from a specific treatment [2]. …
