Prognosis of Septic Shock We read with great interest the article by April et al. in the American Journal of Emergency
PT
Medicine (1). The authors compared in-hospital mortality among emergency department patients meeting trial-based criteria for septic shock based upon whether presenting with
RI
refractory hypotension versus hyperlactatemia. They found that mortality was 10.9% among
SC
patients with isolated refractory hypotension, 24.4% among patients with isolated hyperlactatemia, and 28.3% among patients with both. The results of this study are similar
NU
with recently published secondary analysis of the ARISE (Australian Resuscitation in Sepsis
MA
Evaluation) trial (2). The ARISE study revealed that the participants enrolled on the basis of isolated hyperlactatemia had a higher 90-day mortality; were less likely to be discharged alive
D
from both intensive care unit and hospital; had longer intensive care unit and hospital duration
PT E
of stay; and received mechanical ventilation more often than participants with isolated refractory hypotension. These observations imply that a blood lactate ≥ 4 mmol/L is likely an
CE
important independent marker of disease severity in sepsis; that it can be used for risk stratification and that it may be a candidate for the defintion of septic shock. However, a
AC
singular ideal biomarker has not yet been identified; an alternative approach is to shift research focus to determine the diagnostic relevancy of multiple biomarkers when used in concert. We think that sepsis often presents alongside other conditions and due to this complexity, a single 'golden' biomarker may not exist, thus research should shift more focus on to assessing the combined diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of multiple biomarkers such as lactate, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, natriuretic peptides, troponins and etc.
