Treatments
Acute respiratory distress syndrome group
patients who will develop ARDS within 7 days of ICU admission, defined according to the Berlin criteria. Fibrinogen (g/L) and albumin (g/L) levels in the blood will be measured from the first routine blood sample after ICU admission.~Fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio will be calculated as:~FAR = Fibrinogen (g/L)/Albumin (g/L)
Non acute respiratory distress syndrome group
patients who will not develop ARDS within 7 days of ICU admission. Fibrinogen (g/L) and albumin (g/L) levels in the blood will be measured from the first routine blood sample after ICU admission.~Fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio will be calculated as:~FAR = Fibrinogen (g/L)/Albumin (g/L)
