Brief Summary: Acute respiratory failure ARF remains a common reason for admission to the intensive care unit ICU ARF to be present in 32 of patients on ICU admission with a further 24 of patients developing ARF during the ICU stay A total of 56 of all ICU admissions for a length of 48 h had ARF at some point during their stay The incidence of ARF was from 886 to 1371 hospitalizations per 100000 residents The incidence of ARF was found to increase nearly exponentially with each decade until age 85 years However there is still paucity data about etiology and outcomes of acute respiratory failure happened in community

Mortality of ARF in critically ill patients is between 40 and 65 Independent hazards for ARF mortality include older age severe chronic co-morbidities HIV active malignancy cirrhosis certain precipitating events trauma drug overdose bone marrow transplant and multiple organ system failure MOSF 7-9 Mortality has also been associated with acute lung injury or bilateral infiltrates on chest radiograph and with an elevated acute physiology score

ARF patients form a large percentage of all ICU admissions and many factors might influence the final outcomes With the high incidence of ARF in ICU any improvement in the outcome of such population is likely to have marked effect on intensive care resource allocation We wish this study may provide some valuable information about acute respiratory failure in community and improve the outcome of these patients
