The presence of a detectable IL-10 at days 1–2 was associated with a severe head injury (p = .03), mortality at days 28 (p = .01), and shock at days 1–2 (p = .006), but not with sepsis development (p = .3), massive transfusion (p = .36) nor major thoracic injury (p = .19) (data not shown). This evidence concerns the gene IL10 and Sepsis.
