  • Lactate clearance as a prognostic marker of mortality in severely ill febrile children in East Africa 
    Aramburo, A.; Todd, Jim; George, Elizabeth C.; Kiguli, Sarah; Olupot-Olupot, Peter; Opoka, Robert O.; Engoru, Charles; Akech, Samuel; Nyeko, Richard; Mtove, George; Gibb, Diana M.; Babiker, Abdel G.; Maitland, Kathryn (BMC, 2018)
    Background: Hyperlactataemia (HL) is a biomarker of disease severity that predicts mortality in patients with sepsis and malaria. Lactate clearance (LC) during resuscitation has been shown to be a prognostic factor of ...
