Overview

Major risk factors that predispose to ARDS include advanced advanced age and cigarette smoke exposure. One of the most substantial risk factors for the development of ARDS is chronic alcoholism. Acute illnesses or infections, traumatic injuries, Adverse drug reactions, toxic exposures, and other acute precipitants of ARDS are discussed in the subchapter on causes of ARDS.

Risk Factors

Common risk factors for the development of ARDS are:


The association between chronic alcoholism and a higher risk of developing ARDS has been demonstrated in several research studies.[2][3] In one study, patients with a history of alcohol abuse were roughly twice as likely to develop ARDS and experienced a mortality rate that was 36% higher than age-, sex-, and disease-matched patients without a history of alcohol abuse.[2]
