Anion gap(AG) or serum lactate-in search of a better prognostic marker in sepsis a cross-sectional study in a rural tertiary care hospital

Background: In intensive care units, sepsis is a common diagnosis. Serum lactate rise has been established as an essential measure for predicting the outcome of sepsis. Higher anion gap(AG) associated with increased risk death in critically ill individuals. We measured blood levels and AG looked at how these predicted in-hospital outcomes (death or discharge).This study aimed to estimate gap values syndrome, serum correlate (mortality discharge) patients syndrome. Methods: The Department Medicine Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College conducted this single-center, prospective, observational cross-sectional cohort design. A total 160 were screened ICU. Sepsis was diagnosed using SEPSIS-3 criteria. Results: study, we included sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score >2.Mean 5.1±1.2 mmol/L it ≥4 90% patients. Mean 14.0±3.9 ≥12 75.6% Similarly, proportion who had higher those than <12 (95.9% vs. 71.8%, p<0.0001). AUC ROC mortality significant both (AUC 0.797, p<0.0001) 0.835, p<0.0001). Conclusions: Along other parameters mortality, also act important predictors conclude that on admission can be used short-term sepsis.
