Study Design. This was a observational study of patients with ARDS. The study was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of the National Taiwan University Hospital. Patients admitted to the medical ICU at the National Taiwan University Hospital were screened for eligibility. Patients were considered eligible if they were over 18 years of age and fulfilled the American-European Consensus Committee criteria for ARDS: a) acute onset; b) bilateral pulmonary infiltrates; c) severely impaired oxygenation, i.e., PaO2/FIO2 < 200 mmHg; and d) pulmonary artery occlusion pressure < 18 mmHg or no evidence of left atrial hypertension (1).
Exclusion criteria were: a) a previous history of ARDS; b) received angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor antagonist within one month before the development of ARDS; c) receiving mechanical ventilation due to chronic respiratory failure; and d) did not receive invasive mechanical ventilation after the occurrence of ARDS. If a patient had repeated episodes of ARDS during the study period, only the first episode would be studied and included for analysis. The diagnosis of sepsis was based on the criteria by the American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine Consensus Conference Committee (21).
In addition, two control groups, consisting "at-risk" patients and "non-at-risk", respectively, were recruited for comparison. The patients in the "at-risk" group were all admitted to the MICU due to acute respiratory failure but did not meet the diagnostic criteria of ARDS throughout the hospital course. The "non-at-risk" group had no previous history of respiratory failure or admission to the ICU for any reason, and had not been hospitalized within 6 months before inclusion.
Clinical Data Collection and Outcome. For the ARDS and at-risk groups, the following data were collected on admission to the ICU: co-morbidities, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) scores (22), gender, age, and reason for admission. For the ARDS groups, the Lung Injury Scores (LIS) were measured at the time of diagnosis of ARDS(23). For the at-risk group, the highest lung LIS's were also recorded. During the MICU admission, the best PaO2/FIO2 and the mode of mechanical ventilation were recorded daily and major organ functions (serum creatinine, blood cell and platelet counts, serum alanine aminotransferase) were regularly determined. Decisions on specific supportive treatments for ARDS (prone positioning, inhaled nitric oxide, high-frequency oscillation ventilation, etc.), weaning and extubation were determined by the attending physicians according to the clinical condition and test for eligibility of extubation. The primary outcome of this study was the survival at the 28th day of ARDS onset. The secondary outcome was the survival on hospital discharge.
ACE Polymorphism. After informed consents were obtained from the patients and control subjects, peripheral blood samples were obtained and enediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was added. Genomic DNA was extracted using commercial kits (QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit, Qiagen, Valencia, CA) according to the manufacturer's instructions and stored at -20˚C at a concentration of 100 ng/L until further genotyping studies. The ACE I/D genotypes were determined by PCR amplification of the respective fragments for the D and I alleles from intron 16 of the ACE gene and by size fractionation by electrophoresis as previously described elsewhere (24). Standard PCR was performed with 20 pmol of each primer (5'CTGGAGACCACTCCCATCCTTTCT3' and 5'GATGTGGCCATCACATTCGTCAGAT3') in a final volume of 25 L, containing 1.5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.3, 0.2 mM of each dNTP, and 1.25 units if Taq polymerase (Perkin Elmer-Cetus; Norwalk, Conn). The DNA was amplified for 30 cycles with denaturation at 94˚C for 30 s, annealing at 58˚C for 30 s, and extension at 72˚C for 1 min, followed by final extension at 72˚C for 5 min (DNA Thermal Cycler 480; Perkin Elmer-Cetus). The PCR products were electrophoresed in a 2% agarose gels with 5 g of ethidium bromide/mL, and were identified by 300-nm ultraviolet transillumination as distinct bands (D allele: 191 bp; I allele: 478 bp). Because of the concerns about mistyping ID as DD, all samples found to have the DD genotype were subjected to a second, independent PCR amplification with a primer pair that recognizes an insertion-specific sequence (5'TGGGACCACAGCGCCCGCCACTAC'3 and 5'TCGCCAGCCCTCCCATGCCCATAA'3) (25). The PCR condition has been described elsewhere(25). The reaction yields a 335-bp amplicon only in the presence of an I allele, and no product in samples homozygous for DD.
Statistical Analysis. The SPSS statistical package (version 10.1 for Windows; SPSS, Chicago, IL) was used for most of the statistical analyses. Continuous data were expressed as means SD. Comparisons of the continuous data were performed by ANOVA or two-sample t tests. The chi-square tables were used to compare the observed number of each genotype with those expected for a population in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and to compare genotype frequencies between the ARDS population and the control groups. The 28-day survival and survival on hospital discharge between the genotypes were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the statistical significances were tested using the log-rank test. Multivariate analyses for the primary and secondary outcomes were performed by the Cox proportional hazard methods. For all tests, a p value of 0.05 or less was considered significant.
