Lactate serial measurements and predictive validity of early mortality in trauma patients admitted to the intensive care unit

Conclusions Our findings determined a similar performance of the lactic acid as compared to other studies, especially in the lactic acid level at 24h with relevant discrimination over 2.35mEq/L at 24. Nonetheless, reverse causality can eventually occur.
