Alactic base excess is an independent predictor of death in sepsis: A propensity score analysis.
Alactic base excess (ABE) is a novel biomarker defined as the sum of lactate and standard base excess and estimates the renal capability of handling acid-base disturbances in sepsis. The objective of this study is to see if ABE is an independent predictor of mortality in septic patients with and without renal dysfunction. ⋯ Negative ABE is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in septic patients with and without renal dysfunction.
