Relative Hyperlactatemia in the Emergency Department

The clinical interpretation of lactate ≤ 2.00 mmol/L in emergency department (ED) patients is not well-characterized. This study aims to determine the optimal cutoff value for lactate within the reference range that predicts in-hospital mortality among ED patients. This was a retrospective study of...

Description
Summary:The clinical interpretation of lactate ≤ 2.00 mmol/L in emergency department (ED) patients is not well-characterized. This study aims to determine the optimal cutoff value for lactate within the reference range that predicts in-hospital mortality among ED patients. This was a retrospective study of adult patients presenting to a tertiary ED with an initial serum lactate level of
