Summary

This study looks at whether being treated at a high-altitude hospital affects survival for children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (severe lung failure). Researchers will collect data from 1,600 children in intensive care units around the world. The goal is to understand how altitude and hospital resources impact outcomes and to improve care recommendations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 1 month (corrected gestational age) and 18 years. * Admission to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) or facility where mechanically ventilated children are cared for. * Requirement of invasive mechanical ventilation. * Diagnosis of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) according to PALICC criteria, confirmed within 24 hours before or after endotracheal intubation. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with active perinatal lung disease (e.g., neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary hemorrhage, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, early bronchopulmonary dysplasia, meconium aspiration). * Patients who have received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) prior to or within the first 24 hours of PARDS diagnosis. * Patients with pre-established limitation of therapeutic effort (LTE) orders or palliative care directives documented before the initiation of invasive mechanical ventilation. * Readmissions to the PICU during the study period (only the first episode per patient will be included).
