Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the importance of lactate levels as a prognostic marker for critically ill patients in the ICU, comparing it to established scoring systems like SOFA and APACHE II.
- Conducted with 200 patients, it found that higher lactate levels and worse SOFA/APACHE II scores were linked to increased mortality rates among non-survivors.
- The analysis showed that lactate levels had a strong predictive value for mortality (AUC of 0.909), outperforming the SOFA (AUC of 0.809) and APACHE II scores (AUC of 0.769).
