Respiratory distress syndrome is a condition that predisposes an infant to this condition.

<h3>What is Respiratory distress syndrome?</h3>

A respiratory condition that affects breathing in neonates. One of the most frequent issues with premature neonates is respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), formerly known as hyaline membrane disease.

A deficiency in pulmonary surfactant is the root cause of RDS. After the 26th week of pregnancy, in the third trimester, a fetus's lungs begin to produce surfactant. A frothy material called surfactant maintains the lungs' complete expansion so that neonates can breathe in air as soon as they are born.

The majority of ARDS cases, however, are caused by a small number of prevalent conditions; among patients in medical intensive care units, these conditions are pneumonia, sepsis, and aspiration.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) symptoms are:

severe dyspnea or shortness of breath.
hurried and difficult breathing.
muscular soreness and extreme exhaustion.
Confusion.
quick heartbeat.
Due to low blood oxygen levels, fingernails and lips have a bluish appearance.
chest discomfort and coughing.

MaRussiya [10]

It is true that a healthcare disparity exists when a population group has a higher burden of disability or illness than another group has.

<h3>What is healthcare disparity?</h3>

Health disparities are avoidable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities for optimal health that socially disadvantaged populations face.

Genetics, access to care, poor quality of care, community characteristics encompassing the inadequate access to healthy foods, poverty, limited personal support systems.

Also the violence, environmental conditions like poor air quality, language barriers, and health behaviors are all factors that contribute to health disparities.

A healthcare disparity occurs when one population group bears a greater burden of disability or illness than another.
