According to the Berlin Criteria for ARDS severity, as long as the PEEP is greater than 5, the severity is primarily dependent on hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2 ratio).
"The severity of the ARDS is defined by the degree of hypoxemia, which is calculated as the ratio of arterial oxygen tension to fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2). ARDS can be mild, moderate or severe as clarified by the Berlin definition of ARDS, outlined in the table below (Ranieri et al., 2012)."
