Clinical Scorecard: Creation and validation of an enhanced mortality prediction score using the lactate-to-albumin ratio in ICU patients suffering from acute pulmonary embolism: a multi-cohort analysis

At a Glance

Condition
Key MechanismsLactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR) reflects tissue hypoperfusion and nutritional status. [Needs citation]
Target Population
Care Setting

Key Highlights

  • LAR demonstrated a linear relationship with 28-day mortality.
  • LAR-sPESI score showed modest improvements in predictive performance.
  • LAR is derived from routine laboratory tests and can be dynamically monitored.
