Circulating nucleosomes and their component histones have been implicated as pathogenic in sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adults. However, their role in pediatric ARDS is unknown. We performed a prospective cohort study in children with ARDS, with plasma collection within 24 hours of ARDS onset. We associated nucleosome levels with severity of ARDS and with non-pulmonary organ failures and tested for association of nucleosomes with pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) mortality and ventilator-free days (VFDs) at 28 days in univariate and multivariable analysis. We also performed proteomics of DNA-bound plasma proteins in a matched case-control study of septic children with and without ARDS in order to identify specific histone proteins elevated in ARDS. Large academic tertiary care PICU. Intubated children meeting Berlin criteria for ARDS. None. We enrolled 333 children with ARDS, with 69 (21%) non-survivors. Plasma nucleosomes were correlated with ARDS severity and with the number of non-pulmonary organ failures at ARDS onset. Nucleosomes were higher (p < 0.001) in non-survivors (0.40 [interquartile range 0.20, 0.71] arbitrary units) relative to survivors (0.10 [IQR 0.04, 0.25] AU). Nucleosomes were associated with PICU mortality in multivariable analysis (adjusted odds ratio 1.84 per 1 standard deviation increase, 95% confidence interval 1.38 to 2.45, p < 0.001). Nucleosomes were also associated with a lower probability of being extubated alive by day 28 after multivariable adjustment (adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio 0.74, 95% CI 0.63 to 0.88, p = 0.001). Proteomic analysis demonstrated higher levels of the core nucleosome histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 in septic children with ARDS, relative to septic children without ARDS. Plasma nucleosomes are associated with ARDS severity, non-pulmonary organ failures, and worse outcomes in pediatric ARDS.
