Randomized Controlled Trial
Subphenotypes in acute respiratory distress syndrome: latent class analysis of data from two randomised controlled trials.
Subphenotypes have been identified within heterogeneous diseases such as asthma and breast cancer, with important therapeutic implications. We assessed whether subphenotypes exist within acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), another heterogeneous disorder. ⋯ National Institutes of Health.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Point-of-care ultrasonography in patients admitted with respiratory symptoms: a single-blind, randomised controlled trial.
When used with standard diagnostic testing, point-of-care ultrasonography might improve the proportion of patients admitted with respiratory symptoms who are correctly diagnosed 4 h after admission to the emergency department. We therefore assessed point-of-care ultrasonography of the heart, lungs, and deep veins in addition to the usual initial diagnostic testing in this patient population. ⋯ University of Southern Denmark, Odense University Hospital, and Højbjerg Fund.
