Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic role of lactate clearance in predicting outcomes among trauma patients admitted to the emergency department.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients referred to the Emergency Department. Serum lactate levels were measured at admission and 2 hours later. The patients were followed up for 72 hours to assess outcomes, including discharge, hospitalization in other wards, and mortality.
Results: The results showed a significant difference between the mean age, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), systolic blood pressure (SBP), pulse rate (PR), and oxygen saturation (O2 Sat) of the trauma patients in relation to mortality prognosis (p<0.05). Additionally, significant differences were found in primary lactate, lactate levels two hours post-admission, and lactate clearance levels based on the patient's prognosis (p<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that lactate clearance was associated with a reduced mortality rate among trauma patients (OR=0.907, p<0.05).
Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that lactate clearance, as an independent predictive factor, was associated with poorer prognosis and increased mortality rates in trauma patients.
期刊介绍:
BEAT: Bulletin of Emergency And Trauma is an international, peer-reviewed, quarterly journal coping with original research contributing to the field of emergency medicine and trauma. BEAT is the official journal of the Trauma Research Center (TRC) of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS), Hungarian Trauma Society (HTS) and Lusitanian Association for Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ALTEC/LATES) aiming to be a publication of international repute that serves as a medium for dissemination and exchange of scientific knowledge in the emergency medicine and trauma. The aim of BEAT is to publish original research focusing on practicing and training of emergency medicine and trauma to publish peer-reviewed articles of current international interest in the form of original articles, brief communications, reviews, case reports, clinical images, and letters.
