About this trial
The primary objective of this study is to validate a pre-defined IL-6 concentration cutoff that predicts 28-day mortality in patients who are admitted or are intended to be admitted to the ICU diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
28-day all-cause mortality [Time Frame: within 28 days after inclusion] participants will be followed up for 28 days
Participants will be followed up for 28 days for all-cause mortality
Secondary outcomes
In-hospital mortality up to 28 days
Participants will be followed up for 28 days for in-hospital mortality
All-cause mortality up to 7 days
Participants will be followed up for 7 days for all-cause mortality
Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score
SOFA score has a range from 1 to 24, where higher scores represent higher degrees of single or multiple organ failure(s).
Hospital length of stay
Participants will be followed up for hospital length of stay for up to 28 days
