Lactate level as a predictor of outcomes in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding: A systematic review and meta‑analysis.

ABSTRACT: There remains no consensus on the prognostic value of lactate in predicting adverse outcomes such as mortality, rebleeding and higher intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). The present study aimed to determine the prognostic accuracy of lactate level in predicting adverse clinical outcomes in patients with acute UGIB. Systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed Central, SCOPUS, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect databases for studies published up to February 2023. Random-effects model was used for the meta-analysis and the results were presented as pooled standardized mean differences or odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CIs). A total of 11 studies were included in the present review. Most of th
