We were not able to determine if the 100%% group had very early pro- and anti-inflammatory imbalance, which has been shown to be predictive of mortality [25].
(1) Lactate is a marker of organ hypoperfusion, thus organ dysfunction, and has been shown to be predictive of mortality (2, 3) and is a part of the new Sepsis-3 definition of septic shock.
However, in a mixed population of patients who present with severe sepsis and septic shock, the results are inconsistent; some studies have shown BNP to be predictive of mortality [40], others have not [41].
Factors found to be predictive of mortality at 12 months in univariate analysis were increased age (p = 0.020), arterial lactate, serum bilirubin concentration, and PT ratio (all p < 0.001), serum albumin (p = 0.002), creatinine (p = 0.029) and platelet count (p = 0.005).
In addition, perceived age has been shown to be predictive of mortality in elderly individuals and associated with predictors of age-related diseases independently of chronological age [3], [4], [5] indicating its utility as a biomarker of aging.
Erythroderma, airway bleeding, and leukopenia have been shown to be predictive of mortality.
Measures of health-related quality of life (HRQL), including the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3) are predictive of mortality.
The aim of this study was to report plasma concentrations of lipophilic micronutrients in hemodialysis patients and to analyze if these concentrations were predictive of mortality.
Severity as measured by the clinical scoring system was predictive of mortality.
In addition it was predictive of mortality outcomes and of who would be discharged at lactate levels of 4 mmol.
This is consistent with our finding that the change in EVLWI measurements over the ICU course was predictive of mortality.
