Serum Lactate Albumin Ratio as a Predictor of Mortality in Patients with Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock
Abstract
Severe sepsis and septic shock are a common causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. These complex processes are associated by various components, some are used for prediction of the disease’s severity. This study inspects the prediction of mortality in severe sepsis and septic shock with increased serum lactate albumin ratio.
Objective: This study examines serum lactate albumin ratio to predict mortality in severe sepsis and septic shock.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 75 patients with severe sepsis or septic shock in Prachuapkhirikhan Hospital from June 2019 to May 2020. Serum lactate and serum albumin level of first day of arrival in hospital were calculated.
Result: A total of 75 severe sepsis or septic shock patients were included. It was found that serum lactate albumin ratio increased gradually corresponded to an increment of the mortality, when serum lactate albumin ratios were in range of 0.91 – 1.20 and over 1.20 the mortalities were 12.5% and 69.4% respectively.
Conclusion: Serum lactate albumin ratio is a biomarker for prediction of the mortality of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock.
