AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to investigate how the lactate/albumin ratio relates to the prognosis of patients with sepsis.
  • Researchers conducted a computerized search across multiple databases to gather relevant studies.
  • They analyzed the results using standardized mean differences and odds ratios, considering both prospective and retrospective cohort studies.

Article Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to explore the association between lactate/albumin ratio and the prognosis of sepsis patients.

Methods: A computerized search was performed in Pubmed, EMbase, Ovid, Medline, and Google Scholar to collate relevant studies. The results were compared using standardized mean differences (SMD)/odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Prospective and retrospective cohort studies were both included in this study.

Lactate to Albumin Ratio and Mortality in Patients with Severe Coronavirus Disease-2019 Admitted to an Intensive Care Unit.

J Clin Med

November 2024

First Department of Critical Care Medicine and Pulmonary Services, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens Medical School, Evangelismos Hospital, 45-47 Ipsilantou Street, 10676 Athens, Greece.

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.

Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.

Background: The serum lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) is commonly employed for monitoring and evaluating the prognosis of critically ill patients. Both elevated lactate levels and decreased albumin levels may reflect the body's stress response and inflammatory reaction. Coronary heart disease (CHD), with common complications including myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, heart failure, is one of the leading causes of global death.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) significantly contributes to global health issues, with early identification of high-risk patients being crucial for better outcomes.
  • This study analyzed data from 989 AMI patients using the lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) to determine its association with 28-day mortality rates in an ICU setting.
  • Results showed that a higher LAR correlates with increased risk of death; each unit increase in LAR raises the mortality risk by 2.15 times, highlighting LAR as a potential indicator for assessing patient prognosis in AMI.
