Stepwise logistic regression, with entry and exit values set at p < 0.15 for all models.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; VL, venous lactate; TVS, traditional vital signs; H-L, hosmer-lemeshow goodness of fit statistic.

*Occult hypoperfusion: VL ≥ 2.5 mM with normal TVS.

†Abnormal TVS: Systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg and/or heart rate > 120 beats/min.
