Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the relationship and prognostic value of the admission arterial blood Lactate and base excess to mortality in severe burn patients.
Subjects and methods: Prospective study on 121 adult severe burn patients admitted within 72 hours after-burn at the National Burns Hospital from 1/1/2021 to 31/12/ 2021. Patients were divided into two groups of survival and death and were compared in terms of the arterial blood Lactate and base excess at admission.
Results: The arterial blood Lactate and base excess was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in the death group compared with the survival group at admission. The predictive value of mortality of the arterial blood lactate and base excess was good (AUC = 0.82; 95% CI: 0.74 - 0.9; cut-off: 4mmol/l; sensitivity: 79, 17%; specificity: 74.23%; accuracy: 75.21%; p = 0.0000) and quite (AUC = 0.77; 95% CI: 0.66 - 0.88; cut-off: 5.4mmol/l; sensitivity: 83.33%; specificity: 68.04%; accuracy: 71.07%; p = 0.0000). However, the results of multivariate analysis showed that these two indexes did not have an independent effect on mortality.
Conclusion: The predictive value of mortality of the arterial blood Lactate and base excess was good and quite, however, there was no independent effect on mortality. More research is needed to apply this index in the prognosis of patients with severe burns.
