Panel A: Components of Long-Term Mortality Panels B: Hypothetical Kaplan-Meier Survival Curve for Patients with ARDS and Matched Controls without ARDS Long-term mortality after critical illness consists of early and late deaths. In this study, early deaths were considered as in-hospital deaths, while late deaths were deaths in the 5 years following survival from ARDS hospitalization. Panel B shows that ARDS patients may have increased long-term mortality with (scenario 1) or without (scenario 2) increased late mortality.
