From: The effect of hyperlactatemia timing on the outcomes after cardiac surgery
The effect of diabetes mellitus on postoperative lactate levels while controlling for the effect of covariates (CPB time and glucose level). DM is associated with a significant attenuation of the postoperative lactate levels (P < 0.001). CPB indicates cardiopulmonary bypass. 95% CI indicates 95% confidence interval. DM indicates diabetes mellitus. Estimated marginal means for lactate levels with the 95% CI for each time point in both groups are detailed in the Supplement (Table S2)
