IL6 and Sepsis: LARs at baseline were positively associated with the severity of sepsis (APACHE II: r = 0.29, p = 0.003; SOFA: r = 0.33, p < 0.001) and inflammatory biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein (r = 0.29, p < 0.1), procalcitonin (r = 0.47, p < 0.001), interleukin 6 (r = 0.28, p = 0.005) interleukin 10 (r = 0.3, p = 0.002) and suPAR (r = 0.28, p = 0.004).
