Purpose Anion gap (AG) metabolic acidosis is common in critically ill patients. The
relationship between initial AG at the time of admission to the medical intensive care unit …

Backgrounds High level of anion gap (AG) was associated with organic acidosis. This study
aimed to explore the relationship between delta AG (ΔAG= AGmax− AGmin) during first 3 …

Aims: To describe at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission and over the first 5 days the
composition of metabolic acidosis in patients with sepsis and to evaluate and compare …

Background. There were controversies over the relationship between Anion gap (AG) and
mortality in critically ill patients. Therefore, a large multicenter cohort study was conducted to …

Background and objectiveStewart's and Fencl's methods have recently been proposed to
interpret acid–base disorders where traditional theory has proven inadequate. Our …

Objective: The physicochemical approach, described by Stewart to investigate the acid–
base balance, includes the strong ion gap (SIG), a quantitative measure of “unmeasured” …

Purpose Severe acidosis is a potentially life-threatening acid-base imbalance. The outcome
of patients with severe acidosis has only been anecdotally described. We therefore …

Background Lactate concentration is a robust predictor of mortality but in many low resource
settings facilities for its analysis are not available. Anion gap (AG), calculated from clinical …

In the critically ill, metabolic acidosis is a common observation and, in clinical practice, the
cause of this derangement is often multi-factorial. Various measures are often employed to …
