Resumen

Introducción: el lactato sérico constituye uno de los biomarcadores más importantes en la sepsis.

Objetivos: determinar el valor del lactato y su vinculación con la mortalidad en los pacientes con sepsis de cualquier origen y compararlos secundariamente con otras escalas.

Metodología: se aplicó un diseño de casos (pacientes adultos con sepsis y óbito) y controles (pacientes adultos con sepsis vivos al alta) en Servicio de Clínica Médica, Servicio de Terapia Intensiva de Adultos y Departamento de Urgencias del Hospital Nacional (Itauguá, Paraguay) en los años 2015 a 2016.

Resultados: se incluyeron 101 pacientes, 34 óbitos (casos) y 67 vivos (controles). No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el sexo y la media de edad entre casos y controles. Los focos infecciosos más frecuentes fueron pulmonar y abdominal. El lactato elevado se halló en 70% de los casos y en 30% de los controles (OR 4,5 IC95% 1,8-11) (p <0,001).

Conclusiones: existe una asociación entre la concentración sérica de lactato al ingreso y la mortalidad hospitalaria en pacientes con sepsis, independientemente de la comorbilidad y la edad.
