- The study investigates the relationship between lactate levels and clinical parameters in patients with shock, finding that traditional clinical signs do not effectively correlate with lactate levels.
- Conducted with 1,320 adult patients, the research shows that the lactate value at admission is the only strong predictor of mortality, with other clinical variables lacking strong discriminatory power to detect high lactate (hyperlactatemia).
- Ultimately, the results indicate that despite efforts to identify alternative screening tools, lactate remains a crucial marker for assessing the prognosis of patients experiencing shock.
