Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine whether lactate clearance (LC) is a significant indicator of mortality in patients with colorectal perforation. LC has been associated with mortality in heterogeneous critically ill patients, but its role as a predictor of mortality in homogeneous patients with colorectal perforation is unclear.
