Figure 1. Mean hospital mortality (solid line) and 95% confidence interval (dotted lines) based on the magnitude of lactate change within 12 hours compared with index values. Patients with decreased lactate (across percentage strata) are represented toward the right of the figure, whereas those with increased lactate are toward the left. The vertical line demarcates increased and decreased repeat lactate values.
