Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) remain the gold standard for generating high-quality evidence by minimizing confounding bias. However, RCTs can only evaluate interventions with true equipoise. From a practical standpoint, RCTs are demanding both financially and from a human resources perspective. RCTs often take a long time to complete, with no guarantee they will reach completion. Moreover, although randomization ensures group comparability usually providing excellent internal validity, external validity may be limited, as RCTs are typically conducted in highly selected populations [1]. In contrast, observational studies are gaining growing attention for their potential to generate robust evidence; an interest supported by the rise of large databases. Observational designs rely on sampling from the observed target population under no researcher-initiated intervention. Observational studies include a variety of designs such as case–control studies, cohort studies, or cross-sectional studies. Unlike RCTs, observational studies can be carried out at a fraction of the cost and provide rapid, real-world insights that are relevant not only to clinicians, but also to patients, regulators, and payers. However, these advantages are counterbalanced by an increased risk of bias. Mitigating this risk often comes at the cost of a high methodological complexity, resulting in reduced perceived transparency for the reader, with no guarantee that the biases inherent to such studies are fully addressed [2]. Consequently, the conclusions drawn from observational studies should follow EQUATOR guidelines (i.e. Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Statement) and must always be critically appraised [3]. To help the reader strengthen their appraisal of such studies, we outline several key methodological and statistical considerations in observational research.

Despite advancements in bedside monitoring and paradigm shifts in standard ventilatory practice, mortality from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains high. The recent Global ARDS definition adopts a more pragmatic approach enabling earlier identification across a broader patient spectrum, independent of the interventions being administered. Meanwhile, our understanding of managing this heterogeneous syndrome has shifted towards defining precise subgroups with shared therapeutic targets. Physiological, biological, and radiological phenotypes may modify the response to interventions previously showing indeterminate benefit, making them potentially central to future personalised ARDS management. This narrative review summarises core evidence for the medical and ventilatory management of ARDS, explores emerging concepts, and offers clinicians a framework for current best practice and a roadmap for possible future directions.
