This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of lactate/albumin ratio for ICU mortality prediction in a large cohort of patients with severe Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). This is a single-center retrospective cohort study of prospectively collected data derived from the COVID-19 dataset for all critically ill patients admitted to an academic ICU. Data were used to determine the relation between lactate/albumin ratio and other laboratory parameters measured on the first day of the ICU stay and to evaluate the prognostic performance for ICU mortality prediction.

Background: Albumin-based indices have been used to predict mortality after heart failure (HF). We hereby examined the utility of albumin-globin ratio, lactate-albumin ratio, blood urea nitrogen (BUN)-albumin ratio, fibrinogen-albumin ratio, and albumin-bilirubin score (ABS) in predicting mortality after HF.
Methods: We searched Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases up to 2nd October 2024 for studies examining association between albumin-based indices and mortality after HF.

Background: A previous study has shown that the lactate/albumin*age (LAA) score is useful for predicting mortality in patients with sepsis admitted to the ICU. We aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of the LAA score in patients with sepsis who presented to the emergency department (ED).
Methods: This retrospective observational study used data from the Korean Shock Society Registry collected between January 2017 and December 2021.

Background Septic shock remains a leading cause of mortality in children. The lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) has emerged as a potential prognostic marker for mortality in septic shock, yet most existing research focuses on adults, with limited data available for pediatric populations, particularly in Vietnam. Objectives This study aims to evaluate the prognostic utility of the LAR in predicting 28-day mortality among children aged two months to 15 years with septic shock in Vietnam.

Background Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, often resulting in severe outcomes such as septic shock and death. Globally, sepsis ranks among the most common causes of illness and death. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is an established marker used to assess and predict the extent of organ failure in septic patients.
