Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a retrospective observational study over the period 1/2019 - 02/2024 with the aim of identifying patients with a predisposition to secondary infections.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

As a reference center, Charité Universitaetsmedizin Berlin has been treating patients with the most severe form of acute respiratory failure, known as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), for more than 30 years. Despite lung-protective forms of ventilation and the use of extracorporeal procedures for oxygenation and decarboxylation (ECMO), mortality is around forty percent. In addition to the primary cause of ARDS, further infectious complications often develop during the course of the disease, which delay recovery.

The aim of this study is to investigate infectious complications (ventilator-associated pneumonia, reactivation of Herpes viridae, pathogen resistance despite formally correct therapy, fungal infections) depending on the immune status.
