"We included adult patients with ARDS, who were admitted to one of the participating intensive care units (ICU) at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, the tertiary care university hospital in Berlin, Germany. Patients were excluded if they had a preexisting lung condition that would significantly change lung mechanics (e.g., COPD GOLD 3-4, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis), unfavorable prognosis with expected death within the following days, or pregnant or breastfeeding patients. Consent was obtained from the patient proxy or legal representative and from the patients themselves as soon as they could give consent.
