Article Synopsis
- An elevated lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) greater than 0.5 in critically ill pediatric patients is linked to higher mortality and microcirculation issues, particularly in children with sepsis.
- In a study involving 178 children admitted to the PICU, those with septic shock showed significantly higher chances of having an elevated LAR and more microvascular blood flow abnormalities.
- The findings suggest that a normal LAR indicates less risk of microcirculatory injury, making LAR a valuable biomarker for assessing sepsis-related complications in pediatric patients.
We compared measurements of blood glucose concentrations in 30 healthy adult White New Zealand rabbits using 2 commercial portable glucometers (PGM1 and PGM2) and a laboratory chemical analyzer. Results were analyzed with Pearson correlation, Passing-Bablok regression analysis, Bland-Altman analysis, and a modified error grid. Measurements with PGM1 were significantly correlated ( 0.
