The ARDS patients were older compared to non-ARDS patients (54.0 [45.5;59.0] years vs. 41.0 [34.0;49.0] years, p-value = 0.010), had a higher prevalence of insulin resistance (10 (32.3%) vs. 1 (4.76%) p-value = 0.034), and exhibited significative differences (p < 0.05) related to the age of 54.0 [45.5;59.0]. This evidence concerns the gene INS and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
