Relationship between blood lactate level and the prognosis of patients with diabetic sepsis

Abstract To evaluate the prognostic value of blood lactate (Lac) level in sepsis patients with or without diabetes. The predictive value of blood Lac on sepsis patients with or without diabetes was different. The blood Lac was related with the prognosis of sepsis patients without diabetes, while further study should be conducted for the prognostic value of blood Lac in sepsis patients with diabetes, and it's possible to increase the cut-off-point of Lac level in these patients.
