The Educational ARDS Diagnosis Study

NCT02054611 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 600

Summary

Without rigorous, high-quality training materials, the results of the LUNG-SAFE study examining the global incidence and outcomes of severe lung failure (acute respiratory distress syndrome \[ARDS\]) could be confused by either under-recognition of patients with, or misclassification of patients without, ARDS. This problem has been previously identified with the use of the prior ARDS definitions, particularly in patients with milder severity of illness. Importantly, the chest x-ray criteria in the ARDS definition has demonstrated only moderate reliability when applied by experts, although this can be improved through the use of training radiographs (as will be used in this educational module). The investigators hypothesize that the training from the educational module will allow more accurate diagnosis of ARDS by data collectors/study coordinators participating in the LUNG-SAFE study.
