Table 3.

Association of top 10 variables with serum lactate levels in the three datasets (day 1). Second to right column reflects sensitivity analysis for MIMIC-III on day 2. Right column reflects sensitivity analysis limiting analysis to patients with septic shock. An odds ratio (OR) > 1 (red) indicates that variables are associated with high lactate levels. Continuous variables are standardized, i.e., a 1 standard deviation increase is associated with an increase in the shown OR. AST Aspartate transaminase.
