Declarations
:
: This study was approved by the Ethical Review Board of Gothenburg (Approval No.: 2019-000808/1173-18) and aligned with the Declaration of Helsinki, and proactively documented ambulance data by the attending clinicians. Explicit consent was not sought for the retrospective analysis. The Gothenburg Ethical Review Board waived informed consent for the following reasons: (1) routine lactate level measurements in the Emergency Department, with the study advancing testing to the prehospital phase; (2) the study was a quality assessment by a healthcare provider; (3) inability to retrospectively contact severely ill or deceased patients, preventing selection bias; and (4) Swedish legislation allowing patients under EMS care to decline tests. Sensitive personal data were handled in agreement with GDPR.
