Investigating acute respiratory distress syndrome and its recovery in patients
Official title: Colorado APS Clinical Center
Funded at University of Colorado Denver · NIH-11086039 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking at how conditions like pneumonia and sepsis can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and aims to find out how different factors, like alcohol use and age, affect recovery, so we can improve care and rehabilitation for patients who survive ARDS.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research include individuals diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, or sepsis, particularly those with a history of alcohol use disorders.
✕Less likely to help
Patients with chronic respiratory conditions unrelated to ARDS or those not experiencing acute episodes may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and its relationship with conditions like pneumonia and sepsis. It aims to identify specific biological responses in patients that contribute to ARDS and explore how factors such as alcohol use disorders and demographic differences affect outcomes. The study will also examine the recovery process in survivors of ARDS, particularly looking at neuromuscular function and how to improve rehabilitation strategies. By analyzing patient samples and clinical data, the research seeks to enhance diagnosis and treatment approaches for those affected by these serious conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment strategies for patients suffering from ARDS and related conditions.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown promising results in understanding ARDS and its associated conditions, indicating that this approach builds on established findings.
