Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the ability of the criteria "At-risk for PARDS" to identify patients with acute respiratory infection hospitalized outside the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) who are at high risk of developing pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) and describe the timing for the identification. The secondary aim was to explore clinical outcome differences between patients with and without risk for PARDS.
Methods: We conducted an observational prospective cohort study from June to August 2019. Children under 15 years old hospitalized in a pediatric ward due to an acute respiratory tract infection were included.
Main Results: A total of 177 patients with a median age of 12 (IQR 5; 25) months were included. Registered data included demographics, respiratory support, at-risk for PARDS and PARDS diagnosis according to PALICC consensus. PICU admission, hospital length of stay (LOS) and intrahospital mortality were the outcomes compared between children with and without risk for PARDS. The at-risk criteria, within 48 h of admission, showed an overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 82.5%, 100%, and 81.9% respectively, to detect patients that progress to PARDS. The at-risk for PARDS criteria was met in 37 cases (20.9%), which also were more likely to developed PARDS (6/37 [16.2%] vs. 0/140 [0%]; p < 0.001), had higher admission to PICU (16/37 [43.2%] vs. 0 [0%]; p < 0.001) and hospital LOS (7 [6; 12] days vs. 5 [3-6] days; p < 0.001), compared with the group without at-risk for PARDS.
Conclusions: The at-risk for PARDS criteria within 48 h of admission demonstrated an adequate ability to identify patients with a respiratory infection at increased risk of developing PARDS. Patients who met the at-risk for PARDS criteria before PICU admission presented with unfavorable clinical outcomes compared with those without risk.

RNA Sequencing Analysis of Monocytes Exposed to Airway Fluid From Children With Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

Department of Pediatrics, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA.
Objectives: Monocytes are plastic cells that assume different polarization states that can either promote inflammation or tissue repair and inflammation resolution. Polarized monocytes are partially defined by their transcriptional profiles that are influenced by environmental stimuli. The airway monocyte response in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is undefined.

Article Synopsis
- This study aims to define immunocompromised-associated pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (I-PARDS) and contrast it with regular pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS).
- Data were analyzed from the PARDIE study, which included a wide dataset of children with PARDS across 145 PICUs in 27 countries.
- Findings indicate that children with I-PARDS have a higher severity of illness, increased PICU mortality, and are less likely to be extubated successfully within 28 days compared to those with regular PARDS.

Objectives: Describe the frequency with which transfusion and medications that modulate lung injury are administered to children meeting at-risk for pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARF-PARDS) criteria and evaluate for associations of transfusion, fluid balance, nutrition, and medications with unfavorable clinical outcomes.
Design: Secondary analysis of the Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Incidence and Epidemiology study, a prospective point prevalence study. All enrolled ARF-PARDS patients were included unless they developed subsequent pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) within 24 hours of PICU admission or PICU length of stay was less than 24 hours.
