In acidemic neonates, the metabolic component does not predict those at risk of adverse outcomes once pH is taken into account. The apparently worse outcomes with greater base deficit simply reflect a greater degree of acidemia. The prognostic significance attached to the base deficit among acidemic neonates is questionable.
