N2 - Background and aim: Acidosis is able to induce negative changes of different organs that increase progressively with aging. At present it is not known whether the levels of lactate may differently influence the prognosis of younger and older patients. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of lactate levels after admission of younger and older patients to an acute intensive care unit. Methods: Younger (2.5 mmol/L at the admission was higher in the older than in the younger patients (42.4 vs. 20.3 %, p
