Popis: Aim The purpose of this subgroup analysis of a Japanese multicenter registry, the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine Sepsis Registry Advanced (JAAM-SR-Advanced), was to identify early outcome indicators for severe sepsis that are useful and more objective than “septic shock.” Methods Among 624 patients with severe sepsis registered in JAAM-SR-Advanced, 554 with valid serum lactate data were retrospectively studied. Hypotension before and after fluid resuscitation and the highest lactate values over the initial 24 h were compared for their ability to predict in-hospital mortality. Results Of the study group, 155 (28.0%) patients were non-survivors and had significantly lower systolic blood pressures and higher lactate peaks. The mortality of 364 patients with initial hypotension was higher than those patients without it (32.7% versus 19.1%, P
