Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to explore the association between lactate/albumin ratio and the prognosis of sepsis patients. METHODS: A computerized search was performed in Pubmed, EMbase, Ovid, Medline, and Google Scholar to collate relevant studies. The results were compared using standardized mean differences (SMD)/odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Prospective and retrospective cohort studies were both included in this study.
