Objective We conducted a retrospective study assessing the relationship between comorbidity, using the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and the prognoses of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients.Methods We analyzed the data of 47 patients with ALI and ARDS who were admitted to our center between April 2004 and July 2009. The patients were classified into 2 groups (survival and non-survival) 3 months after diagnosis, and demographic and clinical characteristics were analyzed. We also evaluated the ROC curve and Akaike's information criterion (AIC) to determine the most appropriate cut-off level for the CCI at 3 months survival. The survival rate was estimated based on the AIC results.Results The mean age was 71.0 years; 25 (53%) of the patients died within 3 months of the diagnosis. Although age, etiology of ALI and ARDS, and APACHE II score did not differ between the two groups, smoking history, CCI, SOFA score, and steroid use were higher in the non-survival group than in the survival group. Age was not significantly correlated with CCI; however, CCI had weak, but statistically significant correlations with the APACHE II and SOFA scores (r=0.387, p
