xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Background</title><p id="Par1">Mildly elevated lactate levels (i.e., 1–2 mmol/L) are increasingly recognized as a prognostic finding in critically ill patients. One of several possible underlying mechanisms, microcirculatory dysfunction, can be assessed at the bedside using sublingual direct in vivo microscopy. We aimed to evaluate the association between relative hyperlactatemia, microcirculatory flow, and outcome.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p id="Par2">This study was a predefined subanalysis of a multicenter international point prevalence study on microcirculatory flow abnormalities, the Microcirculatory Shock Occurrence in Acutely ill Patients (microSOAP). Microcirculatory flow abnormalities were assessed with sidestream dark-field imaging. Abnormal microcirculatory flow was defined as a microvascular flow index (MFI) < 2.6. MFI is a semiquantitative score ranging from 0 (no flow) to 3 (continuous flow). Associations between microcirculatory flow abnormalities, single-spot lactate measurements, and outcome were analyzed.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p id="Par3">In 338 of 501 patients, lactate levels were available. For this substudy, all 257 patients with lactate levels ≤ 2 mmol/L (median [IQR] 1.04 [0.80–1.40] mmol/L) were included. Crude ICU mortality increased with each lactate quartile. In a multivariable analysis, a lactate level > 1.5 mmol/L was independently associated with a MFI < 2.6 (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1–5.7, <italic>P</italic> = 0.027).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p id="Par4">In a heterogeneous ICU population, a single-spot mildly elevated lactate level (even within the reference range) was independently associated with increased mortality and microvascular flow abnormalities. In vivo microscopy of the microcirculation may be helpful in discriminating between flow- and non-flow-related causes of mildly elevated lactate levels.</p></sec><sec><title>Trial registration</title><p id="Par5">ClinicalTrials.gov, <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01179243">NCT01179243</ext-link>.

One of several possible underlying mechanisms, microcirculatory dysfunction, can be assessed at the bedside using sublingual direct in vivo microscopy. We aimed to evaluate the association between relative hyperlactatemia, microcirculatory flow, and outcome.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p id="Par2">This study was a predefined subanalysis of a multicenter international point prevalence study on microcirculatory flow abnormalities, the Microcirculatory Shock Occurrence in Acutely ill Patients (microSOAP). Microcirculatory flow abnormalities were assessed with sidestream dark-field imaging. Abnormal microcirculatory flow was defined as a microvascular flow index (MFI) < 2.6. MFI is a semiquantitative score ranging from 0 (no flow) to 3 (continuous flow). Associations between microcirculatory flow abnormalities, single-spot lactate measurements, and outcome were analyzed.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p id="Par3">In 338 of 501 patients, lactate levels were available. For this substudy, all 257 patients with lactate levels ≤ 2 mmol/L (median [IQR] 1.04 [0.80–1.40] mmol/L) were included. Crude ICU mortality increased with each lactate quartile. In a multivariable analysis, a lactate level > 1.5 mmol/L was independently associated with a MFI < 2.6 (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1–5.7, <italic>P</italic> = 0.027).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p id="Par4">In a heterogeneous ICU population, a single-spot mildly elevated lactate level (even within the reference range) was independently associated with increased mortality and microvascular flow abnormalities.

Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines consider a threshold of 1 mmol/L as an indicator of tissue hypoperfusion, but they suggest resuscitation to normalize arterial lactate levels in patients with lactate levels > 4 mmol/L in order to improve outcome, based on the principles of early goal-directed therapy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. Similarly, in nonseptic patients, the value of lactate levels in goal-directed resuscitation, as well as the additive value of serial lactate measurements, is recognized [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>]. Recent studies indicate that small increases in lactate levels are already associated with an unfavorable clinical course. This association has been demonstrated for “relative hyperlactatemia” with thresholds as low as 1.1 mmol/L [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>]. Although lactate is easily measured in daily practice, unraveling the underlying causative mechanism is often much more difficult. Organ hypoperfusion is regarded as an important cause of hyperlactatemia, although several other mechanisms also play a significant role, ranging from accelerated aerobic glycolysis to decreased lactate metabolism and mitochondrial and microcirculatory dysfunction [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>]. Sublingual direct in vivo microscopy is a suitable method of detecting microcirculatory derangements at the bedside [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>]. Several studies have demonstrated an association between lactate levels and microcirculatory alterations in subgroups of critically ill patients as well as in experimental settings [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>]. We previously demonstrated that both microcirculatory derangements and arterial lactate levels were independent predictors of mortality in selected high-risk patients [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>].</p><p id="Par18">The aforementioned studies were primarily focused on the early phase of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The significance of minimally elevated lactate levels as well as concomitant microcirculatory dysfunction at a later time point is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the significance of a single-spot arterial lactate measurement and simultaneous in vivo microscopy in a heterogeneous ICU population recruited from 36 ICUs worldwide.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2"><title>Methods</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Patients and setting</title><p id="Par19">This study was a post hoc analysis of a prospective observational point prevalence study of the prevalence and significance of microcirculatory alterations in a heterogeneous ICU population (Microcirculatory Shock Occurrence in Acutely ill Patients [microSOAP; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01179243; registered on August 3, 2010 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>]). Thirty-six ICUs worldwide participated in this study. Being a point prevalence study, data collection on patient characteristics and laboratory values, as well as simultaneous sublingual sidestream dark-field (SDF) imaging, was performed on a single day for all patients in a given ICU or ICU subunit. Lactate levels were measured within a maximum of 4 h before or after SDF imaging. For this substudy, patients with an arterial lactate level ≤ 2 mmol/L were included.</p></sec><sec id="Sec4"><title>Ethics approval</title><p id="Par20">Every participating center obtained ethics approval according to local legislation.

The light emitted by the SDF camera (MicroScan; MicroVision Medical, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) is absorbed by Hb, visualizing erythrocytes as black cells on the screen. Offline software-assisted analysis of SDF images (AVA 3.0; MicroVision Medical) yields information on convective oxygen transport and diffusion distance. The semiquantitative microvascular flow index (MFI), ranging from 0 (no flow) to 3 (continuous flow), and the percentage of perfused vessels (PPV) provides information on convection, whereas total vessel density (TVD) and perfused vessel density (PVD) provide information on diffusion [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>]. A single measurement consisting of three sublingual SDF image sequences of 10–20 seconds was obtained for every patient. SDF imaging as well as subsequent image analysis were performed in line with international consensus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="Sec6"><title>Statistical analysis</title><p id="Par22">Analysis was focused on associations between lactate levels, mortality, organ dysfunction, and microcirculatory alterations. An abnormal microcirculatory blood flow was predefined as a sublingual MFI < 2.6 for vessels < 20 μm, being the lowest reported lower bound of the 95% CI of healthy volunteers. We defined this value a priori for the analysis of the original microSOAP data. A post hoc analysis confirmed this cutoff value as the Youden index in an ROC curve [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>]. This cutoff value has been validated as clinically relevant [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>]. To determine cutoff values for lactate levels for both abnormal MFI and mortality, the AUC was calculated.

For individual patients, a higher lactate level was not necessarily associated with adverse outcome or an abnormal microcirculation or vice versa, pointing toward a multifactorial etiology and significance of both hyperlactatemia and microvascular derangements (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>).<fig id="Fig4"><label>Fig. 4</label><caption><p>Venn diagram depicting overlap between an abnormal microcirculation and lactate groups. <italic>MFI</italic> Microvascular flow index (AU)</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="13054_2017_1842_Fig4_HTML" id="MO4"></graphic></fig></p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec14"><title>Discussion</title><p id="Par30">In the present study, a single-spot arterial lactate level > 1.5 mmol/L was associated with increased mortality as well as with microcirculatory abnormalities and organ dysfunction. This “relative hyperlactatemia” is an emerging concept [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>]. Lactate levels on admission as low as 1.1 mmol/L already appeared to be associated with adverse outcome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. Our observations add to the idea that the prognostic relevance of mildly elevated lactate levels is not restricted to the early phase of ICU admission. The twofold increase in mortality in patients with a lactate level > 1.5 mmol/L is in agreement with results of previous studies focused on the first day of ICU admission [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>]. Researchers in a few studies have reported lactate levels and their association with outcome during the later phase of ICU stay, showing contradictory results. Some have observed an association between hyperlactatemia after initial stabilization with higher mortality rates, whereas others found that not lactate itself but impaired lactate clearance was associated with adverse outcome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>]. In this respect, it is notable that we were able to demonstrate this association in a highly heterogeneous study population, in terms of both the timing of the lactate measurement as well as the underlying diagnosis and disease severity. Not only mortality but also organ dysfunction in terms of SOFA score appeared to be more severe for increasing lactate levels, albeit that this was statistically nonsignificant. A previous study was able to show associations between incremental lactate levels > 2 mmol/L and SOFA scores [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. However, in that study, the investigators evaluated the time course of lactate measurements, whereas in the present study, we evaluated the implications of a single lactate measurement.</p><p id="Par31">Several mechanisms may be involved in the increase of lactate levels. One of these, microcirculatory flow abnormalities, was indeed associated with mildly elevated lactate levels in the present study. PVD, and therefore effective diffusion distance, did not differ between patients with and without mildly elevated lactate levels. Therefore, impaired convective oxygen transport, but not diffusion distance, might have contributed to anaerobic glycolysis. Several researchers have also observed an association between impairment of microvascular flow and elevations in arterial lactate, whereas others have been able to demonstrate associations between lactate levels and parameters of vessel density in a variety of disease states [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>].</p><p id="Par32">Alternatively, several non-flow-related factors may lead to increased nonanaerobic lactate formation under conditions of stress by promoting conversion of glucose to lactate via pyruvate instead of pyruvate entering the citric acid cycle [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>]. Indeed, lactate formation in endotoxemia results predominantly from increased aerobic lactate formation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>]. On top of that, exogenous adrenergic stress resulting from β-adrenergic drugs can also increase aerobic lactate formation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>].</p><p id="Par33">Besides ongoing lactate formation, impaired lactate clearance has to be kept in mind as a cause of mildly elevated lactate levels. Levraut and coworkers observed that in stable septic patients in whom arterial lactate levels were < 2 mmol/L after the initial resuscitation phase, impaired clearance of exogenous sodium lactate but not baseline lactate values could discriminate between survivors and nonsurvivors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>]. It is conceivable that a similar mechanism was involved in our patients.</p><p id="Par3441444">Altogether, the direct observation of the microcirculation in conjunction with lactate measurements confirms the idea that impaired organ perfusion is only one of many explanations for elevated lactate levels with potential consequences for therapeutic strategies in the ICU [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>].</p><p id="Par34">Our study has several limitations. At first glance, the absolute numbers of lactate and MFI seem to indicate that the study population was not severely ill. However, owing to the design of the study, patients with a longer stay in the ICU before study inclusion were overrepresented. Therefore, the median APACHE II score of 16 seems to be a better indicator of considerable severity of illness of the population at ICU admission. The lack of macrohemodynamic monitoring limited in-depth statistical analysis of factors associated with relative hyperlactatemia. Furthermore, no detailed information on factors influencing lactate clearance or drugs influencing lactate metabolism (e.g., metformin) was available. In addition, the presence of microvascular flow abnormalities in other organs not detected by sublingual in vivo microscopy cannot be ruled out [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>]. Serial measurements of both microcirculation and lactate could have shed more light on the time course of organ dysfunction in patients with relative hyperlactatemia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">41</xref>]. Although independently associated in the multivariate analysis, it is conceivable that a factor not accounted for in our model influenced both lactate and MFI. Last, it should be stated that the observed association between relatively low lactate levels and outcome does not automatically imply clinical relevance. Not only is the predictive value of this multivariate model relatively low with an AUC of 0.74, but it also remains to be established whether interventions aimed at achieving a further reduction of lactate will be beneficial to patients.</p></sec><sec id="Sec15"><title>Conclusions</title><p id="Par35">Our data indicate that even single-spot lactate levels within the usual reference range are associated with an unfavorable clinical course. However, the question remains how the clinician must incorporate these findings into an individualized approach to treating otherwise seemingly stable ICU patients. In vivo microscopy of the (sublingual) microcirculation may be helpful for detection of organ perfusion-related causes of mildly elevated lactate levels with potential consequences for a therapeutic strategy.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Additional files</title><sec id="Sec16"><p><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="MOESM1"><media xlink:href="13054_2017_1842_MOESM1_ESM.docx"><label>Additional file 1:</label><caption><p>Declarations of ethical approval.
