Article Synopsis
- - Sepsis can cause serious circulatory issues and increased lactate levels, making it crucial to assess patient mortality risks; this study compared capillary lactates (CLs) with serum lactates (SLs) in patients suspected of having sepsis over 48 hours and 7 days.
- - The study, conducted between October 2021 and May 2022, involved 203 patients and found that those who died within 48 hours had significantly higher CLs and SLs compared to survivors, and identified a CL cutoff of 16.8 mmol/L as effective for predicting 48-hour mortality.
- - Results indicated that both CLs and SLs are independent predictors for short-term mortality, suggesting that CLs
Objective: According to the 2019 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines on pulmonary embolism (PE), prognosis is calculated using the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI), a complex score with debated validity, or simplified PESI (sPESI). We have developed and validated a new risk score for in-hospital mortality (IHM) of patients with PE in the emergency department.
Methods: This retrospective, dual-center cohort study was conducted in the emergency departments of two third-level university hospitals.
