Abstract
The recommended method for elucidating the effects of strong ions other than lactate on acid-base balance is to calculate the non-lactate strong ion difference (SIDnl). A relationship between HCO3 (-) and SIDnl in hyperchloremic patients has already been demonstrated; in the present study, the relationships between SIDnl, the apparent strong ion difference (SIDa), and mortality at intensive care unit (ICU) admission were investigated.
