Abstract
Background Our previous research have identified Interleukin (IL)-7 and IL-15 as prognostic biomarkers for elderly septic patients, however, little is known about the link between the serum levels of IL-7, IL-15, and lactate as well as their potential roles in the regulation of inflammation in elderly septic patients. Objectives This study aimed at investigating the link between the serum levels of IL-7, IL-15, and lactate as well as with other factors in elderly septic patients. Design This is a retrospective study including 129 elderly patients with sepsis who were divided into the survival group (N = 34) and the nonsurvival group (N = 95) and further subgrouped based on the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scores. Methods The baseline data and clinical parameters were recorded within 24 h upon admission. Serum levels of the cytokines were quantified by the Luminex assay. Spearman correlation analysis were performed. Results Serum levels of IL-6, IL-7, IL-15, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were significantly higher in the nonsurvival group (P < .05). Correlations between serum levels of IL-7 and platelet-derived growth factor-AA (PDGF-AA), as well as correlations between IL-15, IL-6, and TNF-α were confirmed (P < .05). Both the serum levels of lactate and IL-15 correlated with the total counts of platelet (PLT) in the survival subgroup with low APACHE Ⅱ scores while the serum levels of IL-7, IL-15, and total counts of monocytes correlated with each other in the nonsurvival subgroup with different APACHE Ⅱ scores (P < .05). Conclusion Knowledge of the regulation networks between serum levels of IL-7, IL-15, lactate, and other cytokines may provide insights into potential mechanisms in the modulation of inflammation in elderly septic patients and facilitate more prompt and accurate treatment to reduce the mortality rate.

Prognostic value of hyperlactatemia and lactate clearance in septic patients with hematological malignancies. Ann Hematol 2024:10.1007/s00277-024-05977-5. [PMID: 39235491 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-024-05977-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The coexistence of sepsis and hematological malignancies increases patient vulnerability, revealing the need for precise prognostic markers. This study explores the prognostic significance of lactate levels and clearance in septic patients with hematological malignancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study from January 2016 to December 2019 in a tertiary hematological intensive care unit (ICU) included 167 adults with hematological malignancies and sepsis. The relationship between lactate levels, hyperlactatemia, lactate clearance, and ICU outcomes was investigated. ICU survivors and non-survivors were compared to identify the factors affecting ICU mortality. RESULTS Patients were primarily with lymphoma and acute leukemia (66%) and had frequent hyperlactatemia (64%) on ICU admission. ICU non-survivors demonstrated higher lactate levels and hyperlactatemia frequency at various time points (0, 6, and 12 h) than survivors. Lactate clearance and liver function tests did not differ significantly between the two groups. Invasive mechanical ventilation [OR (95% confidence interval-CI): 20.4 (2.4-79.8), p < 0.01], requirement of vasopressors [OR (95% CI): 5.6 (1.3-24.5), p < 0.01], lactate level at the 6th hour [OR (95% CI): 1.51 (1.1-2.07), p = 0.01], and APACHE II score (OR (95% CI): 1.16 (1.01-1.34), p = 0.05) were independent risk factors for ICU mortality. The Area Under the Curve for APACHE II score and lactate level at the 6th hour were 0.774 (95% CI: 0.682-0.866) and 0.703 (95% CI: 0.602-0.804), respectively. CONCLUSION While elevated lactate levels correlate with mortality rate and lactate level at the 6th hour is an independent risk factor for mortality, the absence of a significant difference in lactate clearance challenges traditional assumptions. These results question the commonly accepted perspective regarding lactate dynamics in sepsis among individuals with hematological malignancies. ORAL PRESENTATION İnci K, et al.

Enhancing SAPS-3 Predictive Accuracy with Initial, Peak, and Last Lactate Measurements in Septic Shock. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3505. [PMID: 38930034 PMCID: PMC11204458 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13123505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Septic shock is a severe condition with high mortality necessitating precise prognostic tools for improved patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the collective predictive value of the Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS-3) and lactate measurements (initial, peak, last, and clearance rates within the first 24 h) in patients with septic shock. Specifically, it sought to determine how these markers enhance predictive accuracy for 28-day mortality beyond SAPS-3 alone. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 66 septic shock patients at two ICUs of Vienna General Hospital (2017-2019). SAPS-3 and lactate levels (initial, peak, last measurement within 24 h, and 24 h clearance) were obtained from electronic health records. Logistic regression models were constructed to identify predictors of 28-day mortality, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves assessed predictive accuracy. Results: Among 66 patients, 36 (55%) died within 28 days. SAPS-3 scores significantly differed between survivors and non-survivors (76 vs. 85 points; p = 0.016). First, last, and peak lactate were significantly higher in non-survivors compared to survivors (all p < 0.001). The combination of SAPS-3 and first lactate produced the highest predictive accuracy (AUC = 80.6%). However, 24 h lactate clearance was not predictive of mortality. Conclusions: Integrating SAPS-3 with lactate measurements, particularly first lactate, improves predictive accuracy for 28-day mortality in septic shock patients. First lactate serves as an early, robust prognostic marker, providing crucial information for clinical decision-making and care prioritization. Further large-scale studies are needed to refine these predictive tools and validate their efficacy in guiding treatment strategies.

Efficacy of dietary supplements on mortality and clinical outcomes in adults with sepsis and septic shock: A systematic review and network meta-analysis. Clin Nutr 2024; 43:1299-1307. [PMID: 38663051 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2024.03.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
AIM The aim of this network meta-analysis (NMA) was to investigate the effects of different dietary supplements on the mortality and clinical status of adults with sepsis. METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library Central Register of Controlled Trials until February 2023. The inclusion criteria were: 1) randomized controlled trials (RCT)s; 2) adults suffering sepsis or septic shock; 3) evaluation of short- or long-mortality; and 4) publications between 1994 and 2023. The general information of studies and details of interventions were extracted. The primary outcome was short-term mortality (<90 days), and the secondary outcomes were long-term mortality (≥90 days), length of ICU and hospital stays, and duration of mechanical ventilation (MV). The risk of bias of RCTs was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool 2 (ROB2). A random effect NMA was performed to rank the effect of each intervention using a frequentist approach. RESULTS Finally, 56 RCTs with 5957 participants met the criteria. Approximately, one-third of RCTs were low risk of bias. NMA analysis revealed that there was no treatment more effective in short- or long-term mortality than control or other interventions, except for magnesium (RR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.14, 0.79; GRADE = low) and vitamin C (RR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.67, 0.99; low certainty evidence), which had beneficial effects on short-term mortality. Moreover, eicosapentaenoic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, and antioxidants (EPA + GLA + AOs) combination was the most effective, and magnesium, vitamin D and vitamin C were the other effective approaches in terms of duration of MV, and ICU length of stay. There was no beneficial dietary supplement for hospital stay in these patients. CONCLUSIONS In septic patients, none of the dietary supplements had a substantial effect on mortality except for magnesium and vitamin C, which were linked to lower short-term mortality with low certainty of evidence. Further investigation into high-quality studies with the use of dietary supplements for sepsis should be highly discouraged.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is an infection-related systemic inflammatory response that often leads to elevated lactate levels. Monitoring lactate levels during severe sepsis is vital for influencing clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the association between plasma lactate levels and mortality in children with severe sepsis or septic shock. METHODS The current prospective study was conducted in the PICU of University Children's Hospital. The International Paediatric Sepsis Consensus Conference criteria for Definitions of Sepsis and Organ Failure in 2005 were used to diagnose patients with sepsis. We measured plasma lactate levels upon admission (Lac H0) and 6 h later (Lac H6). The static indices included the absolute lactate values (Lac H0 and Lac H6), while the dynamic indices included the delta-lactate level (ΔLac) and the 6-hour lactate clearance. The 6-hour lactate clearance was calculated using the following formula: [(Lac H0-Lac H6)100/Lac H0]. ΔLac was calculated as the difference between the Lac H0 and Lac H6 levels. Patient survival or death after a PICU stay was the primary outcome. RESULTS A total of 46 patients were included in this study: 25 had septic shock, and 21 had severe sepsis. The mortality rate was 54.3%. The Lac H0 did not significantly differ between survivors and nonsurvivors. In contrast, the survivors had significantly lower Lac H6 levels, higher ΔLac levels, and higher 6-hour lactate clearance rates than nonsurvivors. Lactate clearance rates below 10%, 20%, and 30% were significantly associated with mortality. The best cut-off values for the lactate clearance rate and Lac H6 for the prediction of mortality in the PICU were < 10% and ≥ 4 mmol/L, respectively. Patients with higher Lac H6 levels and lower lactate clearance rates had significantly higher PICU mortality based on Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the significance of lactate level trends over time for the prediction of mortality in the PICU in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. Elevated lactate levels and decreased lactate clearance six hours after hospitalisation are associated with a higher mortality rate.

Association between early lactate-related variables and 6-month neurological outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. Am J Emerg Med 2024; 78:62-68. [PMID: 38217899 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2024.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The role of lactate measurement in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors remains controversial. We assessed the association between early lactate-related variables, OHCA characteristics, and long-term neurological outcome. METHODS In OHCA patients who received targeted temperature management, lactate levels were measured at 0, 12, and 24 h after the return of spontaneous circulation. We calculated lactate clearance and time-weighted cumulative lactate (TWCL), which represent the area under the time-lactate curve. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and the adjusted odds ratios (AORs) of lactate-related variables for predicting 6-month poor outcome (Cerebral Performance Category 3-5) were evaluated. Interactions between lactate variables and characteristics of OHCA were evaluated by a multivariable logistic model with interaction terms and subgroup analysis. RESULTS A total of 347 OHCA patients were included. After adjustment, higher lactate levels at the three time points were associated with a poor outcome (AOR 1.10 [95% CI, 1.03-1.18], AOR 1.15 [95% CI, 1.02-1.29], and AOR 1.36 [95% CI, 1.15-1.60], respectively), while TWCL was the only lactate kinetics variable associated with a poor outcome (AOR 1.29 [95% CI, 1.12-1.49]). We identified several interactions between lactate-related variables and OHCA characteristics. In particular, the AUC of TWCL was excellent in cases of noncardiac etiology (AUC 0.92 [95% CI, 0.86-0.96] but only moderate in cardiac etiology (AUC 0.69 [95% CI, 0.62-0.75]). CONCLUSIONS Early lactate levels, especially at 24 h, and TWCL were independent predictors of neurologic outcome in these patients, whereas lactate clearance was not. The prognostic ability of lactate-related variables varied depending on the OHCA characteristics.

Abstract
Lactate, once merely regarded as an indicator of tissue hypoxia and muscular fatigue, has now gained prominence as a pivotal biomarker across various medical disciplines. Recent research has unveiled its critical role as a high-value prognostic marker in critical care medicine. The current practice of lactate detection involves periodic blood sampling. This approach is invasive and confined to measurements at six-hour intervals, leading to resource expenditure, time consumption, and patient discomfort. This review addresses non-invasive sensors that enable continuous monitoring of lactate in critical care patients. After the introduction, it discusses the iontophoresis system, followed by a description of the structural materials that are universally employed to create an interface between the integumentary system and the sensor. Subsequently, each method is detailed according to its physical principle, outlining its advantages, limitations, and pertinent aspects. The study concludes with a discussion and conclusions, aiming at the design of an intelligent sensor (Internet of Medical Things or IoMT) to facilitate continuous lactate monitoring and enhance the clinical decision-making support system in critical care medicine.

Abstract
Implantable chemical sensors built with flexible and biodegradable materials exhibit immense potential for seamless integration with biological systems by matching the mechanical properties of soft tissues and eliminating device retraction procedures. Compared with conventional hospital-based blood tests, implantable chemical sensors have the capability to achieve real-time monitoring with high accuracy of important biomarkers such as metabolites, neurotransmitters, and proteins, offering valuable insights for clinical applications. These innovative sensors could provide essential information for preventive diagnosis and effective intervention. To date, despite extensive research on flexible and bioresorbable materials for implantable electronics, the development of chemical sensors has faced several challenges related to materials and device design, resulting in only a limited number of successful accomplishments. This review highlights recent advancements in implantable chemical sensors based on flexible and biodegradable materials, encompassing their sensing strategies, materials strategies, and geometric configurations. The following discussions focus on demonstrated detection of various objects including ions, small molecules, and a few examples of macromolecules using flexible and/or bioresorbable implantable chemical sensors. Finally, we will present current challenges and explore potential future directions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lactate is a marker of hypoperfusion in critically ill patients. Whether lactate is useful for identifying and stratifying neonates with a higher risk of adverse outcomes remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between lactate and morbidity and mortality in neonates. METHODS A meta-analysis was performed to determine the association between blood lactate levels and outcomes in neonates. Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception to 1 May 2021. A total of 49 observational studies and 14 data accuracy test studies were included. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for observational studies and the QUADAS-2 tool for data accuracy test studies. The primary outcome was mortality, while the secondary outcomes included acute kidney injury, necessity for renal replacement therapy, neurological outcomes, respiratory morbidities, hemodynamic instability, and retinopathy of prematurity. RESULTS Of the 3184 articles screened, 63 studies fulfilled all eligibility criteria, comprising 46,069 neonates. Higher lactate levels are associated with mortality (standard mean difference, -1.09 [95% CI, -1.46 to -0.73]). Using the estimated sensitivity (0.769) and specificity (0.791) and assuming a prevalence of 15% for adverse outcomes (median of prevalence among studies) in a hypothetical cohort of 10,000 neonates, assessing the lactate level alone would miss 346 (3.46%) cases (false negative) and wrongly diagnose 1776 (17.76%) cases (false positive). CONCLUSIONS Higher lactate levels are associated with a greater risk of mortality and morbidities in neonates. However, our results do not support the use of lactate as a screening test to identify adverse outcomes in newborns. Research efforts should focus on analyzing serial lactate measurements, rather than a single measurement.

Kataria S, Singh O, Juneja D, Goel A, Bhide M, Yadav D. Hypoperfusion context as a predictor of 28-d all-cause mortality in septic shock patients: A comparative observational study. World J Clin Cases 2023; 11:3765-3779. [PMID: 37383132 PMCID: PMC10294150 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v11.i16.3765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As per the latest Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines, fluid resuscitation should be guided by repeated measurements of blood lactate levels until normalization. Nevertheless, raised lactate levels should be interpreted in the clinical context, as there may be other causes of elevated lactate levels. Thus, it may not be the best tool for real-time assessment of the effect of hemodynamic resuscitation, and exploring alternative resuscitation targets should be an essential research priority in sepsis. AIM To compare the 28-d mortality in two clinical patterns of septic shock: hyperlactatemic patients with hypoperfusion context and hyperlactatemic patients without hypoperfusion context. METHODS This prospective comparative observational study carried out on 135 adult patients with septic shock that met Sepsis-3 definitions compared patients with hyperlactatemia in a hypoperfusion context (Group 1, n = 95) and patients with hyperlactatemia in a non-hypoperfusion context (Group 2, n = 40). Hypoperfusion context was defined by a central venous saturation less than 70%, central venous-arterial PCO2 gradient [P(cv-a)CO2] ≥ 6 mmHg, and capillary refilling time (CRT) ≥ 4 s. The patients were observed for various macro and micro hemodynamic parameters at regular intervals of 0 h, 3 h, and 6 h. All-cause 28-d mortality and all other secondary objective parameters were observed at specified intervals. Nominal categorical data were compared using the χ2 or Fisher's exact test. Non-normally distributed continuous variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis with the Youden index determined the cutoff values of lactate, CRT, and metabolic perfusion parameters to predict the 28-d all-cause mortality. A P value of < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS Patient demographics, comorbidities, baseline laboratory, vital parameters, source of infection, baseline lactate levels, and lactate clearance at 3 h and 6 h, Sequential Organ Failure scores, need for invasive mechanical ventilation, days on mechanical ventilation, and renal replacement therapy-free days within 28 d, duration of intensive care unit stay, and hospital stay were comparable between the two groups. The stratification of patients into hypoperfusion and non-hypoperfusion context did not result in a significantly different 28-d mortality (24% vs 15%, respectively; P = 0.234). However, the patients within the hypoperfusion context with high P(cv-a)CO2 and CRT (P = 0.022) at baseline had significantly higher mortality than Group 2. The norepinephrine dose was higher in Group 1 but did not achieve statistical significance with a P > 0.05 at all measured intervals. Group 1 had a higher proportion of patients requiring vasopressin and the mean vasopressor-free days out of the total 28 d were lower in patients with hypoperfusion (18.88 ± 9.04 vs 21.08 ± 8.76; P = 0.011). The mean lactate levels and lactate clearance at 3 h and 6 h, CRT, P(cv-a)CO2 at 0 h, 3 h, and 6 h were found to be associated with 28-d mortality in patients with septic shock, with lactate levels at 6 h having the best predictive value (area under the curve lactate at 6 h: 0.845). CONCLUSION Septic shock patients fulfilling the hypoperfusion and non-hypoperfusion context exhibited similar 28-d all-cause hospital mortality, although patients with hypoperfusion displayed a more severe circulatory dysfunction. Lactate levels at 6 h had a better predictive value in predicting 28-d mortality than other parameters. Persistently high P(cv-a)CO2 (> 6 mmHg) or increased CRT (> 4 s) at 3 h and 6 h during early resuscitation can be a valuable additional aid for prognostication of septic shock patients.

Abstract
In patients with sepsis, outcome prediction plays an important role in influencing therapeutic decision making. In this nationwide, prospective, observational cohort study of sepsis patients conducted between September 2019 and December 2020, we evaluated a novel scoring system using serial Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores and serum lactate to accurately predict mortality in sepsis. Based on the serum lactate score (Lac-score), patients were assigned to 5 categories: lactate < 2, ≥ 2 to < 4, ≥ 4 to < 8, ≥ 8 to < 12, and ≥ 12 mmol/L. Lac-SOFA score was defined as the sum of Lac-score and SOFA score. After screening 7113 patients, 379 were excluded and 6734 were included in analysis. In-hospital mortality AUROC for serial Lac-SOFA score from initial to ICU day 3 was significantly higher than that for serial SOFA score (initial, 0.679 vs. 0.656, day 1, 0.723 vs. 0.709, day 2, 0.760 vs. 0.747, and day 3, 0.797 vs. 0.781; DeLong's test, p < 0.001). The initial Lac-SOFA score significantly correlated with in-hospital mortality when the patients were divided into five classes based on 5-point intervals (p < 0.05). Serial evaluation of lactate levels with the SOFA score may improve the predictive accuracy of the SOFA score for determining mortality risk in sepsis patients.

[PMID: 36682102 PMCID: PMC9832691 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2023.01.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between blood lactate levels and lactate kinetics (lactate clearance and Δ lactate) for predicting mortality in patients with COVID-19 admitted to the emergency department. METHODS This study was performed as a retrospective study that included patients admitted to the emergency department between March 1st, 2020, and January 1st, 2022. Lactate levels were recorded at the first admission (0 h lactate) and the highest blood lactate levels in the first 24 h of follow-up (2nd highest lactate). Lactate kinetics were calculated. Clinical severity was determined according to the quick COVID Severity Index (qCSI). RESULTS 300 patients were included in the study. Lactate levels at admission were similar in groups with or without mortality, but 2nd highest lactate levels were found to be significantly higher in the group with mortality (p < 0.001). Lactate clearance and ∆ lactate levels were also found to be lower in the mortality group (p < 0.001). Lactate kinetics in patients in the clinically low severity group were lower in the mortality group (p = 0.02 and p = 0.039, respectively). In the low-intermediate and high-intermediate groups, 0-h lactate and 2nd highest lactate levels were found to be higher in the mortality group, and lactate kinetics were similar in the groups with and without mortality. In the group with high clinical severity, 2nd highest lactate levels were found to be higher in the group with mortality (p = 0.010). Lactate kinetics were also found to be significantly lower in the mortality group (p < 0.001). In the high qCSI group, based on ROC analysis, the AUC for 2nd highest lactate levels predicting mortality was 0.642 (95% CI: 0.548-0.728). The optimal cut-off value for mortality was greater than >2.4 mmol/L (60.6% sensitivity, 67.4% specificity). The AUC for lactate clearance was 0.748 (95% CI: 0.659-0.824). The lactate clearance cut-off value was ≤ -177.78% (49.3% sensitivity, 100% specificity). The AUC for ∆ lactate was 0.707 (95% CI: 0.616-0.787). The optimal ∆ lactate cut-off was ≤ -2 mmol/L (45.1% sensitivity, 93.5% specificity). CONCLUSION In COVID-19, 2nd highest blood lactate and lactate kinetics were found to be prognostic indicators of the disease. High 2nd highest lactate levels and low lactate kinetics in patients with high clinical severity were guiding physicians regarding the outcome of the disease.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease in the world, characterized by pain and loss of joint function, which has led to a serious reduction in the quality of patients' lives. In this work, ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QToF/MS) in conjunction with multivariate pattern recognition methods and an univariate statistical analysis scheme were applied to explore the serum metabolic signatures within OA group (n = 31), HC (healthy controls) group (n = 57) and non-OA group (n = 19) for early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of OA. Based on logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, seven metabolites, including phosphatidylcholine (18:0/22:6), p-cresol sulfate and so on, were identified as critical metabolites for the diagnosis of OA and HC and yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.978. The other panel of unknown m/z 239.091, phosphatidylcholine (18:0/18:0) and phenylalanine were found to distinguish OA from non-OA and achieved an AUC of 0.888. These potential biomarkers are mainly involved in lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism and amino acid metabolism. It is expected to reveal new insight into OA pathogenesis from changed metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Objective To compare the accuracy of serum lactate parameters, including lactate peak concentration (LACpeak), lactate time area (LACarea), and lactate clearance (LC) for predicting mortality of the septic patients, and to compare with the predictive accuracy of National Early Warning Score (NEWS) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores. Methods This study retrospectively screened the septic patients admitted to the ICU in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) from 2008 to 2019. The baseline data and outcomes of patients were gathered. The subjects were divided into the non-survival group and the survival group. SOFA, NEWS, LACpeak, and LACarea were recorded. The LC was calculated 6 h after LACpeak. The above parameters were compared by the T-test and Mann-Whitney U test, and odds ratios were calculated adjusting for age and sex. The receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs) of subjects were plotted according to SOFA, NEWS, LACpeak, and LACarea within 24h, and LC at 6h of ICU admission. The Areas under the ROC curve (AUCs), sensitivity, and specificity were compared with R version 4.1.1. Results 1,169 septic patients were involved, and 366 (31.3%) patients died within 28 days. Compared to the survival group, the LACpeak of the non-survival group was higher [4.85 (3.2, 7.9) vs. 3.4 (2.6, 5.25) mmol/L, adjusted odds ratio 1.18, P < 0.001], and the LACarea of the non-survivals was higher than the survivals too [18.44 (10.36, 27.63) vs. 13.65 (9.01, 21.73), adjusted odds ratio 1.03, P < 0.001)]. The LC of the survivals at 6 h after LACpeak was significantly higher than that of the non-survivals [0.26 (0.14.0.42) vs. 0.19 (0.10, 0.33), adjusted odds ratio 0.06, P < 0.01]. Within 24h of ICU admission, the AUCs of mortality prediction in descending order were NEWS [0.73 (0.70, 0.76)], SOFA [0.69 (0.66, 0.73)], LACpeak [0.64 (0.61, 0.68)], and LACarea [0.60 (0.56, 0.63)]. There were 204 patients with 6-hour LC after LACpeak the AUCs of LACarea, LACpeak and LC were 0.73(0.65, 0.80), 0.71(0.62,0.78) and 0.65 (0.56, 0.73), respectively. Conclusions The predictive accuracy of LC was not superior to LACpeak and LACarea for the mortality of the septic patients and the predictive value of all the above lactate parameters for mortality maybe not better than SOFA and NEWS.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition and remains a major cause of mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of biomarkers in the diagnosis of sepsis and septic shock in patients admitted to the emergency department (ED). Medical records of patients who underwent measurement of serum biomarkers including lactic acid, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin (PCT), and presepsin in the ED between May 2019 and May 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were subdivided into 3 groups; non-sepsis, sepsis, and septic shock according to the new definition using the sequential organ failure assessment score. The mean age was 69.3 years, and 55.8% of the study population was female. Of 249 subjects, 98 patients confined to sepsis group, and 35.7% of them were septic shock. In the multivariable analysis, a high level of PCT was an independent predictor of sepsis (odds ratio [OR], 1.028; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.006-1.051; P = .011) along with a simplified acute physiology score III (SAPS III) (OR, 1.082; 95% CI, 1.062-1.103, P < .001). PCT was also an independent risk factor for septic shock (OR, 1.043; 95% CI, 1.016-1.071, P = .02). In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the area under the curve of PCT to predict sepsis and septic shock were 0.691 (P < .001) and 0.734 (P < .001), respectively. The overall 30-days mortality rate was 8.8%, and the mortality rate was significantly higher in the sepsis group (sepsis vs non-sepsis, 15.3% vs 4.6%; P = .004). In the multivariate Cox analysis, a higher level of lactic acid (hazard ratio [HR], 1.328; 95% CI, 1.061-1.663, P = .013), predisposing chronic pulmonary diseases (HR, 7.035; 95% CI, 1.687-29.341, P = .007), and a high SAPSIII value (HR, 1.046; 95% CI, 1.015-1.078, P = .003) were independent risk factors for mortality in sepsis patients. PCT was a useful biomarker for predicting sepsis and septic shock in the ED. A higher level of lactic acid, predisposing chronic pulmonary diseases, and a high SAPS III score were associated with a greater mortality risk in patients with sepsis.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is an inflammatory response which causes serious damages to alveolar epithelia and vasculature, and it still remains high lethality and mortality with no effective treatment. Based on the inflammatory homing of platelets and cell membrane cloaking nanotechnology, in this study we developed a biomimetic anti-inflammation nanoparticle delivery system for ALI treatment. PM@Cur-RV NPs were designed by combining the poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (NPs) coated with platelet membrane vesicles (PM) for the purpose of highly targeting delivery of curcumin (Cur) and resveratrol (RV) to inflammatory lungs. PM@Cur-RV NPs showed good biocompatibility and biosafety both in vitro and in vivo. Accumulation of NPs into lung tract was observed after inhaled NPs. Remarkably, the inhalation of PM@Cur-RV NPs effectively inhibited lung vascular injury evidenced by the decreased lung vascular permeability, and the reduced proinflammatory cytokine burden in an ALI mouse model. The analysis of infiltrated macrophages in the lungs showed that the Cur-RV-modulated macrophage polarized towards M2 phenotype and the decreased histone lactylation might contribute to their anti-inflammation effects. Together, this work highlights the potential of inhalation of biomimetic nanoparticle delivery of curcumin and resveratrol for the treatment of pulmonary diseases.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2022; 22:363. [PMID: 35941546 PMCID: PMC9358885 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-02794-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Early oxygen debt repayment is predictive of successful weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). However, studies are limited by the patient cohort’s heterogeneity. This study aimed to understand the early state of oxygen debt repayment and its association with end-organ failure and 30-day survival using cluster analysis. Methods A retrospective, single-center study was conducted on 153V-A ECMO patients. Patients were clustered using a two-step cluster analysis based on oxygen debt and its repayment during the first 24 h of ECMO. Primary outcomes were end-organ failure and 30-day survival. Results The overall mortality was 69.3%. For cluster analysis, 137 patients were included, due to an incomplete data set. The mortality rate in this subset was 67.9%. Three clusters were generated, representing increasing levels of total oxygen debt from cluster 1 to cluster 3. Thirty-day survival between clusters was significantly different (cluster 1: 46.9%, cluster 2: 23.4%, and cluster 3: 4.8%, p = 0.001). Patients in cluster 3 showed less decrement in liver enzymes, creatinine, and urea blood levels. There were significant differences in the baseline oxygen debt and the need for continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) between survivors and non-survivors (p < 0.05). Forty-seven patients (34.3%) migrated between clusters within the first 24 h of support. Among these patients, 43.4% required CVVH. Notably, patients requiring CVVH and who migrated to a cluster with a higher oxygen debt repayment showed better survival rates compared to those who migrated to a cluster with a lower oxygen debt repayment. Conclusions Oxygen debt repayment during the first 24 h of V-A ECMO shows to correspond with survival, where the baseline oxygen debt value and the necessity for continuous kidney replacement therapy appear to be influential.

Comparison of lactate/albumin ratio to lactate and lactate clearance for predicting outcomes in patients with septic shock admitted to intensive care unit: an observational study. Sci Rep 2022; 12:13047. [PMID: 35906231 PMCID: PMC9338032 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-14764-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the Lactate to Albumin (L/A) ratio compared to that of lactate and lactate clearance in predicting outcomes in patients with septic shock. This was a multi-center observational study of adult patients with septic shock, who admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) at Shohada and Imam Reza Hospitals, Tabriz, Iran, between Sept 2018 and Jan 2021. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore associations of the L/A ratio, lactate and lactate clearance on the primary (mortality) and secondary outcomes [ICU length of stay (LOS), duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), need of renal replacement therapy (RRT) and duration of using vasopressors] at baseline, 6 h and 24 h of septic shock recognition. Best performing predictive value for mortality were related to lactate clearance at 24 h, L/A ratio at 6 h and lactate levels at 24 h with (AUC 0.963, 95% CI 0.918-0.987, P < 0.001), (AUC 0.917, 95% CI 0.861-0.956, P < 0.001), and (AUC 0.904, 95% CI 0.845-0.946, P < 0.001), respectively. Generally, the lactate clearance at 24 h had better prognostic performance for mortality and duration of using vasopressor. However, the L/A ratio had better prognostic performance than serum lactate and lactate clearance for RRT, ICU LOS and MV duration.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to construct a model to predict the risk of in-hospital death in patients with acute renal injury (AKI) receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) after acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) surgery. Methods We reviewed the data of patients with AKI undergoing CRRT after ATAAD surgery. The patients were divided into survival and nonsurvival groups based on their vital status at hospital discharge. The data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Establish a risk prediction model using a nomogram and its discriminative ability was validated using C statistic and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Its calibration ability was tested using a calibration curve, 10-fold cross-validation and Hosmer–Lemeshow test. Results Among 175 patients, in-hospital death occurred in 61 (34.9%) patients. The following variables were incorporated in predicting in-hospital death: age > 65 years, lactic acid 12 h after CRRT, liver dysfunction, and permanent neurological dysfunction. The risk model revealed good discrimination (C statistic = 0.868, 95% CI: 0.806–0.930; a bootstrap-corrected C statistic of 0.859, the area under the ROC = 0.868). The calibration curve showed good consistency between predicted and actual probabilities (via 1,000 bootstrap samples, mean absolute error = 2.2%; Hosmer–Lemeshow test, P = 0.846). The 10-fold cross validation of the nomogram showed that the average misdiagnosis rate was 16.64%. Conclusion The proposed model could be used to predict the probability of in-hospital death in patients undergoing CRRT for AKI after ATAAD surgery. It had the potential to assist doctors to identify the gravity of the situation and make the targeted therapeutic measures.

Central Venous Pressure Measurement Is Associated With Improved Outcomes in Patients With or at Risk for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: An Analysis of the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV Database. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:858838. [PMID: 35419383 PMCID: PMC8995425 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.858838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring is widely used in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, the formal utility of CVP measurement to altering patient outcomes among ICU patients with or at risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has never been investigated. Our study aimed to explore the association of CVP measurement with 28-day mortality specifically in that population. Methods This study was based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Patients were divided into CVP and no CVP groups according to whether they had CVP measurement within 24 h of admission to the ICU. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Multivariate regression was used to elucidate the association between CVP measurement and 28-day mortality, and propensity score matching (PSM) and propensity score-based overlap weighting (OW) were employed to verify the stability of our results. Results A total of 10,198 patients with or at risk for ARDS were included in our study, of which 4,647 patients (45.6%) belonged to the CVP group. Multivariate logistic regression showed that the early measurement of CVP was independently associated with lower 28-day mortality (OR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.42–0.57; p < 0.001). This association remained robust after PSM and OW (both p < 0.001). Patients in the CVP group had shorter ICU stay, lower in-hospital mortality, more fluid on day 1 and higher clearance of blood lactate than those in the no CVP group. Conclusion Early CVP measurement is associated with an improvement in 28-day mortality among a general population of critically ill patients with or at risk for ARDS.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to compare the prognostic significance of pre and postoperative lactate levels and postoperative lactate clearance in the prediction of in-hospital mortality after surgery for gastrointestinal (GI) perforation. Methods Among patients who underwent surgery for GI perforation between 2013 and 2017, only patients whose lactate were measured before and after surgery were included and divided into an in-hospital mortality group and a survival group. Data on demographics, comorbidities, pre and postoperative laboratory test results, and operative findings were collected. Risk factors for in-hospital mortality were identified, and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed for pre and postoperative lactate levels and postoperative lactate clearance. Results Of 104 included patients, 17 patients (16.3%) died before discharge. The in-hospital mortality group demonstrated higher preoperative lactate (6.3 ± 5.1 vs. 3.5 ± 3.2, P = 0.013), SOFA score (4.5 ± 1.7 vs. 3.4 ± 2.3, P = 0.004), proportions of patients with lymphoma (23.5% vs. 2.3%, P = 0.006), and rates of contaminated ascites (94.1% vs. 68.2%, P = 0.036) and lower preoperative hemoglobin (10.4 ± 1.6 vs. 11.8 ± 2.4, P = 0.018) compare to the survival group. Multivariate analysis revealed that postoperative lactate (HR 1.259, 95% CI 1.084–1.463, P = 0.003) and preoperative hemoglobin (HR 0.707, 95% CI 0.520–0.959, P = 0.026) affected in-hospital mortality. In the ROC curve analysis, the largest area under the curve (AUC) was shown in the postoperative lactate level (AUC = 0.771, 95% CI 0.678–0.848). Conclusion Of perioperative lactate levels in patients underwent surgery for GI perforation, postoperative lactate was the strongest predictor for in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
Background To assess the relationship between the ratio of difference of venoarterial CO2 tension (P (v-a) CO2) and difference of arterio-venous oxygen content (C (a-cv) O2), i.e., ΔPCO2/ΔCaO2 with lactate clearance (LC) at 8 and 24 h, to define a cutoff for the ratio to identify LC >10% and >20% at 8 and 24 h, respectively, and its association with prognosis in septic shock. Methods Adult patients with septic shock were included in this prospective, observational cohort study. Blood samples for arterial lactate, arterial, and central venous oxygen and carbon dioxide were drawn simultaneously at time zero (T0), 8 h (T8), and 24 h (T24). At T8, patients were divided into Group 8A (LC ≥10%) and Group 8B (LC <10%). At T24, patients were divided into Group 24A (LC ≥20%) and Group 24B (LC <20%). Results Ninty-eight patients were included. The area under the curve of ΔPCO2/ΔCaO2 at T8 (0.596) and T24 (0.823) was the highest when compared to P(v-a) CO2 and C(a-v) O2. The best cutoff of P(v-a) CO2/C (a-v) O2 as predictor of LC >10% was 1.31 (sensitivity 70.6% and specificity 53.3%) and for LC >20% was 1.37 (sensitivity 100% and specificity 50%). At both T8 and T24, P(v-a) CO2/C (a-v) O2 showed a significant negative correlation with LC. Groups 8A and 24A showed lower intensive care unit mortality than 8B and 24B, respectively. Values of P(v-a) CO2/C (a-v) O2 at T8 were comparable, but at T24, there was a significant difference between the survivors and nonsurvivors (P < 0.001). Conclusion ΔPCO2/ΔCaO2 predicts lactate clearance, and its 24 h value appears superior to the 8-h value in predicting LC and mortality in septic shock patients.

Abstract
Objective Our primary aim was to assess selected metabolic dysfunction parameters, both independently and as a complement to the SOFA score, as predictors of short-term mortality in patients with infection admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods We retrospectively enrolled all consecutive adult patients admitted to the eight ICUs of Lille University Hospital, between January 2015 and September 2016, with suspected or confirmed infection. We selected seven routinely measured biological and clinical parameters of metabolic dysfunction (maximal arterial lactatemia, minimal and maximal temperature, minimal and maximal glycaemia, cholesterolemia, and triglyceridemia), in addition to age and the Charlson's comorbidity score. All parameters and SOFA scores were recorded within 24 h of admission. Results We included 956 patients with infection, among which 295 (30.9%) died within 90 days. Among the seven metabolic parameters investigated, only maximal lactatemia was associated with higher risk of 90-day hospital mortality in SOFA-adjusted analyses (SOFA-adjusted OR, 1.17; 95%CI, 1.10 to 1.25; p < 0.001). Age and the Charlson's comorbidity score were also statistically associated with a poor prognosis in SOFA-adjusted analyses. We were thus able to develop a metabolic failure, age, and comorbidity assessment (MACA) score based on scales of lactatemia, age, and the Charlson's score, intended for use in combination with the SOFA score. Conclusions The maximal lactatemia level within 24 h of ICU admission is the best predictor of short-term mortality among seven measures of metabolic dysfunction. Our combined "SOFA + MACA" score could facilitate early detection of patients likely to develop severe infections. Its accuracy requires further evaluation.

Abstract
Septic shock leads to progressive hypoperfusion and tissue hypoxia. Unfortunately, numerous uncertainties exist around the best monitoring strategy, as available techniques are mere surrogates for these phenomena. Nevertheless, central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), venous-to-arterial CO2 gap, and lactate normalization have been fostered as resuscitation targets for septic shock. Moreover, recent evidence has challenged the central role of lactate. Following the ANDROMEDA-SHOCK trial, capillary refill time (CRT) has become a promissory target, considering the observed benefits in mortality, treatment intensity, and organ dysfunction. Interpretation of CRT within a multimodal approach may aid clinicians in guiding resuscitative interventions and stop resuscitation earlier, thus avoiding the risk of morbid fluid overload. Integrative assessment of a patient's perfusion status can be easily performed using bedside clinical tools. Based on its fast kinetics and recent supporting evidence, targeting CRT (within a holistic assessment of perfusion) may improve outcomes in septic shock resuscitation.

Abstract
Whether lactate clearance (LC) influences outcomes differently depending on the infection site in sepsis cases is not fully elucidated. Herein, we analyzed LC's clinical utility as a predictor of patient outcomes according to infection site. This retrospective study, conducted at two tertiary emergency critical care medical centers in Japan, included patients with sepsis or septic shock. The associations between infection site (lungs vs. other organs) and in-hospital mortality and ventilator-free days (VFDs) were evaluated using univariable and multivariate analyses. We assessed LC's ability to predict in-hospital mortality using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Among 369 patients with sepsis, infection sites were as follows: lungs, 186 (50.4%); urinary tract, 45 (12.2%); abdomen, 102 (27.6%); and other, 36 (9.8%). Patients were divided into a pneumonia group or non-pneumonia group depending on their infection site. The pneumonia group displayed a higher in-hospital mortality than the non-pneumonia group (24.2% vs. 15.8%, p = 0.051). In the multivariate analysis, lower LC was associated with higher in-hospital mortality [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.96-0.98; p < 0.001] and fewer VFD [adjusted difference p value (AD), - 1.23; 95% CI - 2.42 to - 0.09; p = 0.025] in the non-pneumonia group. Conversely, LC did not affect in-hospital mortality (AOR 0.99; 95% CI 0.99-1.00; p = 0.134) and VFD (AD - 0.08; 95% CI - 2.06 to 1.91; p = 0.854) in the pneumonia group. Given the differences in the impact of LC on outcomes between the pneumonia and non-pneumonia groups, this study suggests that optimal treatment strategies might improve outcomes. Further studies are warranted to validate our results and develop optimal therapeutic strategies for sepsis patients.

Abstract
Lactate and the associated H+ ions are still introduced in many biochemistry and general biology textbooks and courses as a metabolic by-product within fast or oxygen-independent glycolysis. However, the role of lactate as a fuel source has been well-appreciated in the field of physiology, and the role of lactate as a metabolic feedback regulator and distinct signaling molecule is beginning to gain traction in the field of immunology. We now know that while lactate and the associated H+ ions are generally immunosuppressive negative regulators, there are cell, receptor, mediator, and microenvironment-specific effects that augment T helper (Th)17, macrophage (M)2, tumor-associated macrophage, and neutrophil functions. Moreover, we are beginning to uncover how lactate and H+ utilize different transporters and signaling cascades in various immune cell types. These immunomodulatory effects may have a substantial impact in cancer, sepsis, autoimmunity, wound healing, and other immunomodulatory conditions with elevated lactate levels. In this article, we summarize the known effects of lactate and H+ on immune cells to hypothesize potential explanations for the divergent inflammatory vs. anti-inflammatory effects.

Park IH, Yang JH, Jang WJ, Chun WJ, Oh JH, Park YH, Ko YG, Yu CW, Kim BS, Kim HJ, Lee HJ, Jeong JO, Gwon HC. Clinical significance of lactate clearance in patients with cardiogenic shock: results from the RESCUE registry. J Intensive Care 2021; 9:63. [PMID: 34663479 PMCID: PMC8522140 DOI: 10.1186/s40560-021-00571-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Limited data are available on the clinical significance of lactate clearance (LC) in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). This study investigated the prognostic role of LC in CS patients. Methods We analyzed data from 628 patients in the RESCUE registry, a multicenter, observational cohort enrolled between January 2014 and December 2018. Univariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the prognostic implications of 24 h LC, and then patients were divided into two groups according to the cut-off value of 24 h LC (high lactate clearance [HLC] group vs. low lactate clearance [LLC] group). The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. We also assessed all-cause mortality at 12 month follow-up and compared the prognostic performance of 24 h LC according to initial serum lactate level. Results In the univariable logistic regression analysis, 24 h LC was associated with in-hospital mortality (odds ratio 0.989, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.985–0.993, p < 0.001), and the cut-off value for the LC of the study population was 64%. The HLC group (initial 24 h LC ≥ 64%, n = 333) had a significantly lower incidence of in-hospital death than the LLC group (n = 295) (25.5% in the HLC group vs. 42.7% in the LLC group, p < 0.001). During 12 months of follow-up, the cumulative incidence of all-cause death was significantly lower in the HLC group than in the LLC group (33.0% vs. 48.8%; hazard ratio 0.55; 95% CI 0.42–0.70; p < 0.001). In subgroup analysis, 24 h LC predicted in-hospital mortality better in patients with initial serum lactate > 5 mmol/L than in those with serum lactate ≤ 5 mmol/L (c-statistics of initial serum lactate > 5 mmol/L = 0.782 vs. c-statistics of initial serum lactate ≤ 5 mmol/L = 0.660, p = 0.011). Conclusions Higher LC during the early phase of CS was associated with reduced risk of in-hospital and 12 month all-cause mortalities. Patients with LC ≥ 64% during the 24 h after CS onset could expect a favorable prognosis, especially those with an initial serum lactate > 5 mmol/L.

The Value of Combining Carbon Dioxide Gap and Oxygen-Derived Variables with Lactate Clearance in Predicting Mortality after Resuscitation of Septic Shock Patients. Crit Care Res Pract 2021; 2021:6918940. [PMID: 34616571 PMCID: PMC8487837 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6918940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 08/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Achieving hemodynamic stabilization does not prevent progressive tissue hypoperfusion and organ dysfunction during resuscitation of septic shock patients. Many indicators have been proposed to judge the optimization of oxygen delivery to meet tissue oxygen consumption. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted to evaluate and validate combining CO2 gap and oxygen-derived variables with lactate clearance during early hours of resuscitation of adults presenting with septic shock. Results Our study included 456 adults with a mean age of 63.2 ± 6.9 years, with 71.9% being males. Respiratory and urinary infections were the origin of about 75% of sepsis. Mortality occurred in 164 (35.9%) patients. The APACHE II score was 18.2 ± 3.7 versus 34.3 ± 6.8 (p < 0.001), the initial SOFA score was 5.8 ± 3.1 versus 7.3 ± 1.4 (p=0.001), while the SOFA score after 48 hours was 4.2 ± 1.8 versus 9.4 ± 3.1 (p < 0.001) in the survivors and nonsurvivors, respectively. Hospital mortality was independently predicted by hyperlactatemia (OR: 2.47; 95% CI: 1.63-6.82, p=0.004), PvaCO2 gap (OR: 2.62; 95% CI: 1.28-6.74, p=0.026), PvaCO2/CavO2 ratio (OR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.49-5.74, p=0.006), and increased SOFA score after 48 hours of admission (OR: 1.86; 95% CI: 1.36-8.13, p=0.02). A blood lactate cutoff of 40 mg/dl at the 6th hour of resuscitation (T6) had a 92.7% sensitivity and 75.3% specificity for predicting hospital mortality (AUROC = 0.902) with 81.6% accuracy. Combining the lactate cutoff of 40 mg/dl and PvaCO2/CavO2 ratio cutoff of 1.4 increased the specificity to 93.2% with a sensitivity of 75.6% in predicting mortality and with 86.8% accuracy. Combining the lactate cutoff of 40 mg/dl and PvaCO2 gap of 6 mmHg increased the sensitivity to 93% and increased the specificity to 98% in predicting mortality with 91% accuracy. Conclusion Combining the carbon dioxide gap and arteriovenous oxygen difference with lactate clearance during early hours of resuscitation of septic shock patients helps to predict hospital mortality more accurately.

Abstract
Elevations in blood lactate concentrations have been studied in sepsis and other disease states for decades and are well known to be associated with increased mortality. Many studies have also demonstrated the prognostic accuracy of serial lactate levels, and some have suggested that lactate clearance may be a useful therapeutic target for resuscitation. Lactate measurements have therefore gained an increasingly prominent role in sepsis definitions, screening protocols, management guidelines, and quality measures over the past two decades. The heavy emphasis on lactate monitoring, however, has also generated controversy and concerns. Lactate is not specific to infection and its frequent use for sepsis screening and diagnosis may therefore trigger unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic use in some patients. Because hyperlactatemia does not always reflect fluid-responsive hypoperfusion, titrating resuscitation to lactate clearance can also lead to unnecessary fluid and volume overload. More broadly, there is a lack of high-quality evidence demonstrating that initial and serial lactate monitoring leads to better patient-centered outcomes. Indeed, a recent randomized controlled trial comparing resuscitation strategies based on lactate clearance versus normalizing capillary refill time showed no benefit and potential harm with lactate-guided therapy. In this article, we review the basic pathobiology of lactate metabolism and delineate why the traditional paradigm that hyperlactatemia reflects tissue hypoxia is overly simplistic and incomplete. We then review the evidence behind the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic uses of lactate monitoring and place this in the context of evolving sepsis diagnosis and management guidelines.

Abstract
AbstractSerial evaluation of blood lactate, including lactate clearance, may have greater value over single measurement at the time of presentation. The rationale of the current study was to evaluate the use of lactate clearance after 6 hours of admission to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) as a predictor of mortality in critically ill children. A prospective observational study was conducted in a nine-bed PICU of a tertiary care teaching hospital over a period of 6 months. Lactate levels were measured in arterial blood samples of 76 patients at the time of admission and 6 hours later. According to calculated lactate clearance, patients were divided into group A (lactate clearance more than 0) which included 71% of patients and group B (lactate clearance ≤0) which included 29% of patients. Lactate level at admission was a poor predictor of mortality (area under receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.519, p = 0.789). Lactate clearance after 6 hours of admission was a significant predictor of mortality (AUC = 0.766, p < 0.001). Using Kaplan–Meier survival curve, overall survival was significantly better among group A (p < 0.001). Using multivariate logistic regression model, lactate clearance after 6 hours (odds ratio = 0.98, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.96–0.99) and The Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 (PIM2) score (odds ratio = 4.7, 95% CI: 1.85–12.28) had independent prognostic significance as regard to mortality (p = 0.030, 0.001 respectively). We conclude that lactate clearance after 6 hours of admission can predict mortality in critically ill children.

Comparison of 5% human albumin and normal saline for fluid resuscitation in sepsis induced hypotension among patients with cirrhosis (FRISC study): a randomized controlled trial. Hepatol Int 2021; 15:983-994. [PMID: 34036519 DOI: 10.1007/s12072-021-10164-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Accepted: 02/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Sepsis and septic shock are common causes of hospitalization and mortality in patients with cirrhosis. There is no data on the choice of fluid and resuscitation protocols in sepsis-induced hypotension in cirrhosis. METHODS In this open-label trial conducted at a single center, we enrolled 308 cirrhotics with sepsis-induced hypotension and randomized them to receive either 5% albumin or normal saline. The primary endpoint was a reversal of hypotension [mean arterial pressure, MAP, ≥ 65 mmHg] at 3 h. Secondary endpoints included serial effects on heart rate, arterial lactate and urine output. RESULTS 154 patients each received 5% albumin (males, 79.8%, mean MAP 52.9 ± 7.0 mm Hg) or 0.9% saline (85.1%, 53.4 ± 6.3 mm Hg) with comparable baseline parameters and liver disease severity. Reversal of hypotension was higher in patients receiving 5% albumin than saline at the end of one hour [25.3% and 11.7%, p = 0.03, Odds ratio (95% CI)-1.9 (1.08-3.42)] and at the end of three hours [11.7% and 3.2%, p = 0.008, 3.9 (1.42-10.9)]. Sustained reduction in heart rate and hyperlactatemia (p < 0.001) was better in the albumin group. At one week, the proportion of patients surviving was higher in the albumin group than those receiving saline (43.5% vs 38.3%, p = 0.03). Female gender and SOFA ≥ 11 were predictors of non-response to fluid. CONCLUSIONS 5% human albumin is safe and beneficial in reversing sepsis-induced hypotension compared to normal saline in patients with cirrhosis improving clinically assessable parameters of systemic hemodynamics, tissue perfusion and in-hospital short-term survival of cirrhosis patients with sepsis.

Abstract
Enzymatic colorimetric analysis of metabolites provides signatures of energy conversion and biosynthesis associated with disease onsets and progressions. Miniaturized photodetectors based on emerging two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) promise to advance point-of-care diagnosis employing highly sensitive enzymatic colorimetric detection. Reducing diagnosis costs requires a batched multisample assay. The construction of few-layer TMDC photodetector arrays with consistent performance is imperative to realize optical signal detection for a miniature batched multisample enzymatic colorimetric assay. However, few studies have promoted an optical reader with TMDC photodetector arrays for on-chip operation. Here, we constructed 4 × 4 pixel arrays of miniaturized molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) photodetectors and integrated them with microfluidic enzyme reaction chambers to create an optoelectronic biosensor chip device. The fabricated device allowed us to achieve arrayed on-chip enzymatic colorimetric detection of d-lactate, a blood biomarker signifying the bacterial translocation from the intestine, with a limit of detection that is 1000-fold smaller than the clinical baseline, a 10 min assay time, high selectivity, and reasonably small variability across the entire arrays. The enzyme (Ez)/MoS2 optoelectronic biosensor unit consistently detected d-lactate in clinically important biofluids, such as saliva, urine, plasma, and serum of swine and humans with a wide detection range (10-3-103 μg/mL). Furthermore, the biosensor enabled us to show that high serum d-lactate levels are associated with the symptoms of systemic infection and inflammation. The lensless, optical waveguide-free device architecture should readily facilitate development of a monolithically integrated hand-held module for timely, cost-effective diagnosis of metabolic disorders in near-patient settings.

Abstract
Lactate clearance is affected by hepatic function. However, it is unclear whether the association between hepatic dysfunction and lactate clearance can act as a prognostic marker of clinical outcomes in patients with septic shock. We aimed to evaluate the association between lactate clearance and mortality in two cohorts of septic shock patient who had hepatic dysfunction based on their total serum bilirubin levels (TBIL). Lactate clearance at 24 h after the onset of septic shock was analyzed using two cohorts, sub-categorized into two groups based on TBIL: < 2 mg/dL and ≥ 2 mg/dL. In the derivation cohort, lactate clearance was lower in non-survivors than in survivors with TBIL ≥ 2 mg/dL, while there was no significant difference in lactate clearance between non-survivors and survivors with TBIL < 2 mg/dL. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that increased lactate clearance was significantly associated with decreased 28-day mortality in the TBIL ≥ 2 mg/dL group (10% lactate clearance, adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 0.88, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.80-0.97, P = 0.0075), Creatinine level ≥ 2 mg/dL group (adjusted OR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.81-0.95, P = 0.00069) and APACHE II score ≥ 35 group (adjusted OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.87-0.98, P = 0.013). In the validation cohort, lactate clearance was lower in non-survivors than in survivors with TBIL ≥ 2 mg/dL, while no significant difference in lactate clearance was observed between non-survivors and survivors with TBIL < 2 mg/dL. Increased lactate clearance was significantly associated with decreased 28-day mortality in the TBIL ≥ 2 mg/dL group (10% lactate clearance, adjusted OR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.83-0.96, P = 0.0038) and the association was just about significant in APACHE II score ≥ 35 group (adjusted OR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.74-1.00, P = 0.051). In conclusion, increased lactate clearance in septic shock patients with hepatic dysfunction (TBIL ≥ 2 mg/dL) or high severity (APACHE II score ≥ 35) was associated with decreased 28-day mortality.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate the utility of noninvasive electrocardiometry (ICON®) for hemodynamic categorization and assessment of fluid responsiveness in pediatric septic shock. Materials and methods Pilot prospective observational study in a 12-bedded tertiary pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in children aged between 2 months and 16 years with unresolved septic shock after a 20 mL/kg fluid bolus. Those with cardiac index (CI) <3.3 L/min/m2 and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) >1600 dyn sec/cm5/m2 were classified as vasoconstrictive shock–electrocardiometry (VCEC) and those with CI >5.5 L/min/m2 and SVRI <1000 dyn sec/cm5/m2 as vasodilated shock–electrocardiometry (VDEC). Fluid responsiveness was defined as a 10% increase in CI with a 20 mL/kg fluid bolus. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SMD) was diagnosed on echocardiography. Outcomes studied included clinical shock resolution, length of PICU stay, and mortality. Results Thirty children were enrolled over 6 months with a median (interquartile range) age and pediatric risk of mortality (PRISM) III score of 87(21,108) months and 6.75(1.5,8.25), respectively; 14(46.6%) were boys and 4(13.3%) died. Clinically, 19(63.3%) children had cold shock and 11(36.7%) had warm shock; however, 16(53.3%) children had VDEC (including five with clinical cold shock) and 14(46.7%) had VCEC using electrocardiometry. Fluid responsiveness was seen in 16(53.3%) children, 10 in the VCEC group and 6 in the VDEC group. In the VCEC group, the responders had a significant rise in CI and a fall in SVRI, while the responders in the VDEC group had a significant rise in CI and SVRI. Fluid responders, compared to nonresponders, had a significantly higher stroke volume variation (SVV) before fluid bolus (24.1 ± 5.2% vs. 18.2 ± 3.5%, p < 0.001) and a higher reduction in SVV after fluid bolus (10.0 ± 2.8% vs. 6.0 ± 4.5%, p = 0.006), higher lactate clearance (p = 0.03) and lower vasoactive-inotropic score (p = 0.04) at 6 hours, higher percentage of clinical shock resolution at 6 (p = 0.01) and 12 hours (p = 0.01), and lesser mortality (p = 0.002). Five (16.6%) children with VCEC had SMD and were less fluid responsive (p = 0.04) with higher mortality (p = 0.01) compared to those without SMD. Conclusions and clinical significance Continuous, noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring using electrocardiometry permits hemodynamic categorization and assessment of fluid responsiveness in pediatric septic shock. This may provide real-time guidance for optimal interventions, and thus, improve the outcomes. How to cite this article Rao SS, Reddy M, Lalitha AV, Ghosh S.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess clinical and paraclinical effects of hemoadsorption on organ dysfunction, severity scores, and 28-day survival in septic patients. Fifty-five septic patients admitted to a general intensive care unit of a university hospital were included in the present study. Each patient underwent three consecutive 24-hour sessions of renal replacement therapy in combination with hemoadsorption. Clinical and paraclinical variables were measured after the treatment and severity scores were calculated. The use of hemoadsorption was associated with an increase in arterial partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio (P = .02), urine output (P = .01), and Glasgow Coma Score (P = .03) and a decrease in white blood cell count (P = .03), C-reactive protein (P = .01), procalcitonin (P = .01) levels, and platelet count (P = .01). The use of hemoadsorption was associated with an improvement in neurological and renal functions and a decrease in inflammatory markers. Acute respiratory distress syndrome improved significantly based on relevant improvements in one-third of the patients.

Prognostic role of perioperative acid-base disturbances on the risk of Clostridioides difficile infection in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0248512. [PMID: 33730090 PMCID: PMC7968627 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0248512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2020] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether acid-base balance disturbances during the perioperative period may impact Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), which is the third most common major infection following cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that perioperative acid-base abnormalities including lactate disturbances may predict the probability of incidence of CDI in patients after cardiac procedures. METHODS Of the 12,235 analyzed patients following cardiac surgery, 143 (1.2%) developed CDI. The control group included 200 consecutive patients without diarrhea, who underwent cardiac procedure within the same period of observation. Pre-, intra and post-operative levels of blood gases, as well as lactate and glucose concentrations were determined. Postoperatively, arterial blood was drawn four times: immediately after surgery and successively; 4, 8 and 12 h following the procedure. RESULTS Baseline pH was lower and PaO2 was higher in CDI patients (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). Additionally, these patients had greater base deficiency at each of the analyzed time points (p < 0.001, p = 0.004, p = 0.012, p = 0.001, p = 0.016 and p = 0.001, respectively). Severe hyperlactatemia was also more common in CDI patients; during the cardiac procedure, 4 h and 12 h after surgery (p = 0.027, p = 0.004 and p = 0.001, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that independent risk factors for CDI following cardiac surgery were as follows: intraoperative severe hyperlactatemia (OR 2.387, 95% CI 1.155-4.933, p = 0.019), decreased lactate clearance between values immediately and 12 h after procedure (OR 0.996, 95% CI 0.994-0.999, p = 0.013), increased age (OR 1.045, 95% CI 1.020-1.070, p < 0.001), emergent surgery (OR 2.755, 95% CI 1.565-4.848, p < 0.001) and use of antibiotics other than periprocedural prophylaxis (OR 2.778, 95% CI 1.690-4.565, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION This study is the first to show that perioperative hyperlactatemia and decreased lactate clearance may be predictors for occurrence of CDI after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify factors associated with dehiscence and mortality rates following gastrointestinal surgery in dogs. ANIMALS 170 client-owned dogs that underwent gastrointestinal surgery from 2010 to 2016. PROCEDURES Medical records of all included dogs were reviewed to collect information on preoperative (breed, sex, age, body weight, American Society of Anesthesiologists [ASA] physical status classification, emergency status, and plasma lactate concentration), intraoperative (indication for surgery, type of surgery, and whether bacterial peritonitis was identified), and postoperative (development of dehiscence and survival status at 2 weeks after surgery) factors. Preoperative and intraoperative factors were evaluated for associations among each other and with postoperative factors. RESULTS Univariate analyses revealed that preoperative plasma lactate concentration increased with increasing ASA status, and lactate concentrations were significantly higher for nonsurvivors (mean ± SD, 4.6 ± 3.7 mmol/L) than for survivors (2.4 ± 1.7 mmol/L). Multivariate analysis controlling for age, body weight, and plasma lactate concentration revealed that dogs with an ASA status ≥ 3 were more likely to develop dehiscence after gastrointestinal surgery than were dogs with a lower ASA status (OR, 17.77; 95% confidence interval, 2.17 to 144.06). Multivariate analysis also revealed that dogs with an ASA status ≥ 3 or high lactate concentration were less likely to survive than were other dogs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE These findings regarding ASA status and preoperative plasma lactate concentration and their associations with outcome may help clinicians to determine and provide optimal perioperative care to dogs requiring gastrointestinal surgery as well as to inform owners about prognosis.

Abstract
Background We performed an exclusive study to investigate the associations between a total of 23 lactate-related indices during the first 24h in an intensive care unit (ICU) and in-hospital mortality. Methods Nine static and 14 dynamic lactate indices, including changes in lactate concentrations (Δ Lac) and slope (linear regression coefficient), were calculated from individual critically ill patient data extracted from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring for Intensive Care (MIMIC) III database. Results Data from a total of 781 ICU patients were extracted, consisted of 523 survivors and 258 non-survivors. The in-hospital mortality rate for this cohort was 33.0%. A multivariate logistic regression model identified maximal lactate concentration at 24h after ICU admission (max lactate at T24) as a significant predictor of in-hospital mortality (odds ratio = 1.431, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.278–1.604, p<0.001) after adjusting for predefined confounders (age, gender, sepsis, Elixhauser comorbidity score, mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, vasopressors, ICU severity scores). Area under curve (AUC) for max lactate at T24 was larger (AUC = 0.776, 95% CI = 0.740–0.812) than other indices (p<0.001), comparable to an APACHE III score of 0.771. When combining max lactate at T24 with APACHE III, the AUC was increased to 0.815 (95% CI:0.783–0.847). The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values for the cut-off value of 3.05 mmol/L were 64.3%, 77.4%, 58.5%, and 81.5%, respectively. Kaplan-Myer survival curves of the max lactate at T24 for 90-day survival after admission to ICU demonstrated a significant difference according to the cut-off value (p<0.001). Conclusions These data indicate that the maximal arterial lactate concentration at T24 is a robust predictor of in-hospital mortality as well as 90-day survival in unselected ICU patients with predictive ability as comparable with APACHE III score.

Evaluation of the Relationship between Early Troponin Clearance and Short-Term Mortality in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure. Emerg Med Int 2020; 2020:6328037.

Abstract
Objective In patients with CKD, cTn concentrations may be elevated in the absence of AMI, which is a predicted finding caused by chronic structural heart disease rather than acute injury. The increase in troponin level observed in noncardiac conditions provides conflicting results when predicting mortality. Low lactate clearance was associated with increased mortality. Lactate clearance is calculated as follows: (early lactate - late lactate/early lactate) ∗ 100. We aimed to investigate whether troponin clearance calculated according to this formula had an effect on short-term mortality. Methods The study included 300 patients with chronic renal failure who had a sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) score ≥3. By taking the baseline troponin at the time of emergency presentation as reference and comparing them with the fourth-hour troponin values, troponin clearance was investigated in the evaluation of mortality among hospitalized patients with CKD within the first month after discharge. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS data analysis software version 20.0. Student's t-test was used for the parametric data, and the Chi-squared test for the nonparametric data. Results Of the 300 patients evaluated, 189 patients survived (mean age 66.20 ± 14.597 years), and 111 died (mean age 74.81 ± 12.916 years). Troponin clearance was detected in 40 of the 111 patients in the mortality group and 119 of the 189 patients in the survival group. Troponin clearance was significantly more frequent in surviving patients (P=0.0000083). Conclusion Troponin clearance can be considered as a valuable leading indicator of survival, but higher levels of troponin clearance did not lead to higher survival rates.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate association of static and dynamic lactate indices with early mortality (within 48 hours of admission), as well as need for vasopressors and mechanical ventilation in pediatric severe sepsis/shock. To explore optimal cutoffs of lactate indices. We hypothesized that dynamic indices are superior to static indices in predicting early mortality. METHODS This prospective cohort study involved children (aged <14 years) admitted in emergency department, tertiary care teaching hospital in North India with severe sepsis/shock (2015-2016). Arterial lactate was measured at admission (X0) and after 6 hours (X6). Primary outcome of the measurement was early mortality. Association between lactate indices- lactate at 0 hours (Lac0), lactate after 6 hours (Lac6), time-weighted average (LacTW), delta (ΔLac), clearance (LacCl%) and early mortality, need for vasopressors, and mechanical ventilation-was assessed using Student t test/Mann-Whitney test. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for early mortality deduced for all lactate indices and compared with reference (Lac0). Optimal cutoffs (maximizing both sensitivity and specificity) and their positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were determined. RESULTS During the study period, 116 children were assessed. Septic shock was present at admission in 56.9% children; 50% of children died during the next 48 hours. Lac0, Lac6, and LacTW were significantly higher, and LacCl% was lower in nonsurvivors versus survivors (all P < .001). Lac6 (0.837 [0.76-0.91]) had significantly higher AUROC (95% confidence interval) than Lac0 (0.77; P = .03). Abnormal lactate metrics (higher Lac0, Lac6, LacTW, and lower LacCl%) were associated with vasopressors need and mechanical ventilation. On logistic regression, Lac6 emerged as an independent predictor of early mortality as well as vasopressor and mechanical ventilation need. The optimal cutoff of Lac6 for identifying early mortality with good sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV was ≥2.65 (76, 85, 83, 78). CONCLUSIONS Lactate6 is the best marker associated with early mortality and higher level of care in severe sepsis/septic shock in resource-poor regions.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is classically defined by systemic hypotension with evidence of hypoperfusion and end organ dysfunction. In modern practice, however, these metrics often incompletely describe cardiogenic shock because patients present with more advanced cardiovascular disease and greater degrees of multiorgan dysfunction. Understanding how perfusion, congestion, and end organ dysfunction contribute to hypoxia at the cellular level are central to the diagnosis and management of cardiogenic shock. Although, in clinical practice, increased lactate level is often equated with hypoxia, several other factors might contribute to an elevated lactate level including mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired hepatic and renal clearance, as well as epinephrine use. To this end, we present the evidence underlying the value of lactate to pyruvate ratio as a potential discriminator of cellular hypoxia. We will then discuss the physiological implications of hypoxia and congestion on hepatic, intestinal, and renal physiology. Organ-specific susceptibility to hypoxia is presented in the context of their functional architecture. We discuss how the concepts of contractile reserve, fluid responsiveness, tissue oxygenation, and cardiopulmonary interactions can help personalize the management of cardiogenic shock. Finally, we highlight the limitations of using lactate for tailoring therapy in cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
Background Serial lactate measurement is found to predict mortality in septic shock. Majority of patients with perforation peritonitis for emergency laparotomy are in sepsis and mortality rate is substantial. However, lactate dynamics has not been studied in this patient population. Methods After institutional ethics clearance and informed written consent, 113 patients with suspected or proven perforation peritonitis presenting for emergency laparotomy were recruited in this prospective observational trial. Baseline Mannheim peritonitis index (MPI), SOFA and APACHE II score were calculated. Lactate values were obtained at baseline, immediate and 24-h postoperative period. Primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Results Mortality was 15.04% at 28 days. Age, SOFA, qSOFA, APACHE, preoperative lactate, MPI and site of perforation were significantly different between survivors and non-survivors. Arterial lactate values at preoperative (cut off 2.75 mmol/L), immediate postoperative (cut off 2.8 mmol/L) and 24 h-postoperative period (cut off 2.45 mmol/L) independently predicted mortality at day 28. Combination of MPI and 24-h lactate value was best predictor of mortality with AUC 0.99. Conclusion Preoperative, immediate postoperative and 24-h postoperative lactate value independently predict 28-day mortality in perforation peritonitis patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. Combination of MPI and 24-h lactate value is the most accurate predictor of mortality. Trial registration Clinical Trial Registry of India - CTRI/2018/01/011103

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study, changes in lactate clearance following magnesium supplementation were evaluated in critically ill patients with severe sepsis. METHODS Fifty-eight patients with severe sepsis were randomly assigned to receive either magnesium (n = 30) or placebo (n = 28). Patients in the magnesium group received intravenous magnesium sulfate to maintain serum magnesium level around 3 mg/dL for 3 days. The placebo group received the same volume of normal saline. Change in lactate clearance was considered primary outcome of the study. RESULTS Mean increase in the lactate clearance in the magnesium group was significantly higher than the placebo group on day 2 (27.53% vs. 23.79% respectively, p < 0.001) and day 3 (49.83% vs. 37.02% respectively, p < 0.001). Time to lactate clearance was also significantly shorter in the magnesium group than the placebo group (47.28 ± 20.59 vs. 61.20 ± 24.31 h respectively, p = 0.03). Sepsis-related mortality was not significantly different but median length of ICU stay was significantly shorter in the magnesium group than the placebo group (8 vs. 15 days respectively, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Magnesium supplementation increased lactate clearance in critically ill patients with severe sepsis. Optimizing serum magnesium level near the upper limit of the normal range may improve severe sepsis outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the prognostic value of lactate level and lactate clearance at 6 hours after septic shock recognition. And, we performed it to determine lactate kinetics in the Sepsis-3 defined septic shock. DESIGN This retrospective study was performed from a prospective septic shock registry. SETTINGS This study was performed at single urban tertiary center. And, all patients were treated with protocol-driven resuscitation bundle therapy between 2010 and 2016. PATIENTS We included septic shock patients who met the Sepsis-3 definition, which involves lactate levels greater than or equal to 2 mmol/L and vasopressor use. INTERVENTIONS Serum lactate levels were measured at initial and 6 hours from septic shock recognition. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Lactate clearance was calculated as ([initial lactate - 6-hr lactate]/initial lactate) × 100. The prognostic value of measured lactate levels and lactate clearance for 28-day mortality was analyzed and compared with that of subsequent lactate levels greater than or equal to 2 mmol/L, greater than or equal to 3 mmol/L, and greater than or equal to 4 mmol/L and less than 10%, less than 20%, and less than 30% lactate clearance. A total of 1,060 septic shock patients by Sepsis-3, 265 patients died (28-d mortality: 25%). In survivor, groups had lower median 6-hour lactate level and higher lactate clearance than nonsurvivors (2.5 vs 4.6 mmol/L and 35.4% vs 14.8%; p < 0.01). Both lactate and lactate clearance were associated with mortality after adjusting for confounders (odd ratio, 1.27 [95% CI, 1.21-1.34] and 0.992 [95% CI, 0.989-0.995]), but lactate had a significantly higher prognostic value than lactate clearance (area under the curve, 0.70 vs 0.65; p < 0.01). The prognostic value of subsequent lactate levels (≥ 2, ≥ 3, and ≥ 4 mmol/L) and lactate clearances (< 10%, < 20%, and < 30%) was not significantly differed. However, lactate levels of greater than or equal to 2 mmol/L had the greatest sensitivity (85.3%). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate lactate and lactate clearance are both useful targets in patients with septic shock defined by Sepsis-3. Serum lactate level at 6-hour can be an easier and more effective tool for prognosis of septic shock patients who were treated with protocol-driven resuscitation bundle therapy.

Abstract
Background Serum lactate and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) are commonly used and commonly recommended as markers of tissue oxygenation in shock states. Medical literature has both explicitly stated and implied that the two biomarkers are interchangeable in the management of patients with shock. However, there have been relatively few direct comparisons of these tests in clinical circumstances, and the relationship between them is uncertain. The objective of our study was to evaluate whether simultaneous or near-simultaneous measurements of lactate and ScvO2 reveal a consistent relationship between these two biomarkers. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted in an urban, academic US hospital. All adults in ICUs between March 2007 and March 2017 who had a lactate measurement and ScvO2 or mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) measurement made +/− 1 h from the lactate were included. Linear and non-linear correlations of ScvO2 and lactate were assessed in a variety of shock states. Results Two thousand sixty-two patients were included. Lactate and ScvO2 correlated poorly (r2 = 0.0041, p = 0.0019). This was true for patients with ScvO2 ≤ 65% (r2 = 0.0431, p < 0.001), patients with normal kidney and liver function (r2 = 0.0517, p < 0.001), and septic shock patients (r2 = 0.0037, p = 0.17). For patients with an O2 extraction ratio ≥ 50%, lactate and ScvO2 were strongly correlated (r2 = 0.93, p = 0.0019), but these patients represented only 2.8% of patients in whom the ratio could be calculated. Conclusions Lactate can predict ScvO2 when patients are at or below the critical oxygen delivery threshold, but relatively few shock patients meet this criterion. In the overall population of critically ill patients, serum lactate predicts ScvO2 poorly, even after controlling for factors that may affect lactate production. Lactate and ScvO2 should not be assumed to be interchangeable markers of tissue oxygenation/perfusion.
