None of the tested markersdemonstrated significant differences in their median circulating levels betweenindividuals who died within 28 days of follow-up and surviving patients.Regarding the severity of sepsis, we observed that the circulating levels ofIL-6 (p = 0.002), IL-10 (p = 0.034) and sST2 (p = 0.020) were significantlyhigher among patients with septic shock compared with patients with severesepsis who responded to fluid resuscitation (Figure 3). Here, IL10 is linked to Shock.
