We used age, ILR, SOFA, APACHE II, Lac, IL-6, D-dime, albumin (ALB), and underlying diseases (e.g., diabetes mellitus and hypertension) as independent variables, and survival status of septic patients (survival = 1, death = 0) as the dependent variable, and performed multivariate logistic regression analysis. Here, IL6 is linked to diabetes mellitus.
