The Prognostic Role of Lactate Concentrations after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.


ABSTRACT: Blood lactate concentrations are often used to assess global tissue perfusion in critically ill patients; however, there are scarce data on lactate concentrations after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We aimed to assess the prognostic role of serial blood lactate measurements on hospital mortality and neurological outcomes at 3 months after SAH. We reviewed all SAH patients admitted to the intensive care unit from 2007 to 2019 and recorded the highest daily arterial lactate concentration for the first 6 days. Patients with no lactate concentration were excluded. Hyperlactatemia was defined as a blood lactate concentration >2.0 mmol/L. A total of 456 patients were included: 158 (35%) patients died in hospital and 209 (46%) had an unfavorable outcome (UO) at 3 months. The median highest lactate concentration was 2.7 (1.8-3.9) mmol/L. Non-survivors and patients with UO had significantly higher lactate concentrations compared to other patients. Hyperlactatemia increased the chance of dying (OR 4.19 (95% CI 2.38-7.39)) and of having UO in 3 months (OR 4.16 (95% CI 2.52-6.88)) after adjusting for confounding factors. Therefore, initial blood lactate concentrations have prognostic implications in patients with SAH; their role in conjunction with other prognostic indicators should be evaluated in prospective studies.
