Introduction: Older adult individuals often have acute illnesses predisposing them to developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We aimed to identify the relationship between age and the development of ARDS in a cohort of hospitalized patients. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a prospective multicenter observational cohort study of hospitalized patients at risk of developing ARDS admitted to 22 hospitals from March 2009 to August 2009. Patients were classified as older adults if their age was 80 or greater. A multivariable logistic regression was performed, adjusting for severity of illness via Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) and risk of ARDS via Lung Injury Prediction Score. Results: Of 5584 patients, 377 (6.8%) developed ARDS. Twenty-four (3.5%) of 694 patients aged 80 or older developed ARDS, compared to 353 (7.2%) of 4890 patients aged less than 80 ( P < .001). After adjusting for severity of illness and the risk of ARDS development, older adult patients had a lower incidence of ARDS compared to younger individuals (odds ratio: 0.28, 95% confidence interval: 0.18-0.42). Conclusion: Older adult patients aged 80 years or older have a reduced incidence of ARDS compared to younger patients, after adjusting for severity of illness and risk of ARDS development.

(1) Background: In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, governmental measures have been undertaken. The impact of the crisis on the healthcare of patients with cancer is largely unexplored. This multicenter cohort study aimed to investigate a potential screening delay and its consequences in patients with oral cancer (OC) during the pandemic. (2) Material and Methods: Data of patients who were first diagnosed with OC during different periods were collected, especially in terms of OC incidence, tumor stage/entity and time to intervention. The periods lockdown (LD) (13 March–16 June 2020), post-lockdown (PLD) (17 June–1 November 2020), and the corresponding equivalents in 2018/19 were differentiated and compared. (3) Results: There was no obvious trend towards a higher incidence of OC or higher tumor stages, whereas a trend towards a shorter time to intervention during the LD2020 could be observed. Subgroup analyses revealed an increased incidence in OC within the PLD2020 in Mainz, which might be explained by the partial closure of dental practices in this federal state during LD. (4) Conclusions: While there was no overall higher incidence of OC, we found closure of practices during LD to possibly delay cancer diagnosis. Therefore, measures must be taken to identify patients at risk and to ensure basic healthcare, especially in the context of dental screening measures.
