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 …

The presence of acid-base disturbances, especially metabolic acidosis may negatively affect
the outcome of critically ill patients. Lactic acidosis is the most frequent etiology and has …

Purpose Sepsis is a significant threat in the intensive care unit (ICU) worldwide because it
has high morbidity and mortality rates. Early recognition and diagnosis of sepsis are …

Background The association of anion gap (AG) with short-term mortality in the critically ill
patients with cardiac diseases is still not well understood. Objective To evaluate the …

Background This cohort study compared the prognostic significance of strong ion gap (SIG)
with other acid-base markers in the critically ill. Methods The relationships between SIG …

Background. No epidemiological study has investigated the effect of anion gap (AG) on the
prognosis of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). Therefore, we aimed to …

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 …

An accurate method to predict the mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients has been
required, especially in children. The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of serum anion …

Purpose (1) To test whether serum bicarbonate or anion gap can be used to predict elevated
lactate or mortality in emergency department (ED) patients with sepsis, and (2) to define …

Background Recent studies reported that serum anion gap could be regarded as a
prognostic biomarker for patients admitted to intensive care units. However, the association …
