Popis: Despite improvements in supportive care, mortality rates in sepsis remain substantially high. Sepsis exhibits phases of enhanced inflammation, alternating with immune suppression with a resultant variant time point of mortality; yet no human study has correlated levels of cytokines to the timeline of mortality. Our study attempts to analyze the association of levels of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in sepsis with the timeline of death in terms of early ( 5 days) mortality, and day of death. We also assessed correlation of these cytokines with length of stay.
