Understanding critically ill sepsis patients with normal serum lactate levels: results from U.S. and European ICU cohorts

Abstract While serum lactate level is a predictor of poor clinical outcomes among critically ill patients with sepsis, many have normal serum lactate. A better understanding of this discordance may help differentiate sepsis phenotypes and offer clues to sepsis pathophysiology. Three intensive care u...
