Objectives: Evaluation the correlation of procalcitonin with lactate in the prognosis of survival and death in septic shock patients.
Subjects and methods: Study on 98 patients diagnosed with septic shock treated inpatient and assigned to have Procalcitotin and lactate from September 2020 to August 2021.
Result: Procalcitonin and lactate had a strong positive correlation with the prognostic factors of survival and death at the time points after 24 hours, 48 hours of treatment; p<0.01. Procalcitonin levels in the first 48 hours have a predictive value in mortality in patients with septic shock.
Conclusion: Procalcitonin and lactate have a strong positive correlation with predictive factors of survival and mortality at the time points after 24 hours, 48 hours of treatment in patients with septic shock.
