Acute respiratory distress syndrome-attributable mortality in critically ill patients with sepsis.
Previous studies assessing impact of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on mortality have shown conflicting results. We sought to assess the independent association of ARDS with in-hospital mortality among intensive care unit (ICU) patients with sepsis. ⋯ Development of ARDS among ICU patients with sepsis confers increased risk of ICU and in-hospital mortality in addition to other important outcomes. Clinical trials targeting patients with severe ARDS will be best poised to detect measurable differences in these outcomes.

Retraction Of PublicationRetraction Note to: PRO: hydroxyethylstarch can be safely used in the intensive care patient-the renal debate.
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article [1] because a number of studies included in this review [2, 3, 4, 5, 6] (originally cited as references 18, 19, 20, 21, and 25) have subsequently been retracted. This has rendered the content of the review unreliable.
