Assessment of lactate, albumin, and lactate/albumin ratio in forecasting 28-day outcome in sepsis patients.

Variable	AUC	95% CI	P value	Optimal cutoff	Youden index	Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)
Lactate	0.814	0.749–0.859	<.001	>4.22	0.516	59.62	91.53
Albumin	0.598	0.534–0.655	.014	≤23.11	0.245	32.26	91.53
L/A	0.868	0.764–0.861	<.001	>0.17	0.524	56.21	94.18

95% CI = 95% confidence interval, AUC = the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, L/A = lactate/albumin.
