Does hyperlactatemia at admission predict mortality in acute medical patients? A population based cohort study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods Single centre cohort study. All adult patients admitted to the medical emergency ward of Odense University Hospital from March 2009 to August 2011, who had an arterial blood gas sample taken within six hours after admission were enrolled. Lactate was stratified in 1mmol/l (mM) intervals. Ten-day mortality after admission was assessed through the Danish Centralised Civil Registration system. A further stratification according to systolic hypotension (< 90 mmHg) was performed. Finally, a survival analysis (Kaplan-Meyer plot) was performed for the first ten days.

متن کاملEven Mild Hyperlactatemia Is Associated with Increased Mortality in Critically Ill Patients
INTRODUCTION The clinical significance of elevation of lactate levels within the reference range is not well studied. The objective of this study was to determine the best cutoff threshold for serum lactate within the reference range (0.01 to 2.00 mM) that best discriminated between survivors and nonsurvivors of critical illness and to examine the association between relative hyperlactatemia (l...
متن کاملAdmission blood glucose helps predict 1 year, but not 2 years, mortality in an unselected cohort of acute general medical admissions.
AIM We previously showed that hyperglycaemia in newly hospitalised medical inpatients is associated with longer length of hospital stay, higher 28-day readmission rates and increased 28-day mortality. We aimed to assess whether a single blood glucose measurement taken at the time of admission could help to predict 1 and 2 years mortality. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data from all 1502...
