Serum albumin level was unrelated to LUSS on admission in ARDS patients. Albumin level <3.25 g/dL increased the chances of a prolonged length of ICU stay (≥10 days) but was not associated with an increase in mortality. LUSS on the day of admission could not predict either a prolonged length of ICU stay or mortality. This trial is registered with CTRI/2019/11/021857.
