Epidemiology of Acute Respiratory Failure and Mechanical Ventilation	2008		.txt	text/plain	4109	210	39	A recently completed, retrospective, community cohort study in Olmsted County, Minnesota included patients treated with NIV and found an even higher incidence of ALI, 156 per 100,000 person-years (personal communication, Rodrigo Cartin -Ceba), Mortality from ALI varies greatly depending upon the age of the patient, underlying chronic illnesses, ALI risk factors, and non-pulmonary organ dysfunctions [15] .
