Brief Summary: Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Early diagnosis of sepsis and identification of more severe sepsis is important to improve the outcomes .Therefore, reliable markers are required to early identify the high-risk patients. Currently, lactate is widely applied as the marker for evaluating the severity of sepsis and for outcome predicting. DM affects lactate balance and raised baseline lactate. The objective of this study was to compare the different prognostic value of admission lactate for sepsis patients with or without DM.
Detailed Description: Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Early diagnosis of sepsis and identification of more severe sepsis is important to improve the outcomes .Therefore, reliable markers are required to early identify the high-risk patients. Currently, lactate is widely applied as the marker for evaluating the severity of sepsis and for outcome predicting.Nevertheless, the value of lactate for predicting sepsis is still controversial.The reasons for the different cutoff value may be due to the fact that sepsis is a heterogeneous disease which has already been defined by a number of clinical, laboratory and radiologic criteria, rather than specific pathologic findings. Therefore, we hypothesized that the discrepancy clinical value of lactate may be resulted from the heterogeneous feature of sepsis. DM affects lactate balance and raised baseline lactate. The objective of this study was to compare the different prognostic value of admission lactate for sepsis patients with or without DM.
