Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has a high mortality and is associated with significant morbidity. Prior outcome studies have focused predominately on short-term outcomes (6 to 12 months). We assessed longitudinal neurocognitive, emotional, and quality of life in ARDS survivors at hospital discharge, and one and two years post-hospital discharge using neuropsychological tests, emotional and quality of life questionnaires. Neurocognitive sequelae occurred in 73% (54 of 74) of ARDS survivors at hospital discharge, 46% (30 of 66) at one year, and 47% (29 of 62) at two years. ARDS survivors report moderate to severe depression (16% and 23%) and anxiety (24% and 23%) at one and two years respectively. The ARDS survivors had decreased quality of life, with the physical domains improving to one year, with no additional change at two years. Role emotional, pain, and general health did not change from hospital discharge to two years. Mental health improved during the first year and declined at two years. ARDS results in significant neurocognitive and emotional morbidity and decreased quality of life that persists at least two years post-hospital discharge. Acute respiratory distress syndrome can cause significant long-term brain-related morbidity manifest by neurocognitive impairments and decreased quality of life.
Key words: ARDS, Quality of life, cognitive outcome, emotional function
