VALI is most common in people receiving mechanical ventilation for acute<unk>  injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). 24 percent of people mechanically ventilated will develop VALI for reasons other than ALI or ARDS. The incidence is probably higher among people who already have ALI/ARDS, but estimates vary widely. The variable estimates reflect the difficulty in distinguishing VALI from progressive ALI/ARDS.
