Our results suggest that initial sFas plasma levels in patients with sepsis correlated with the values of APACHE II score and separated very well the patients with septic shock versus the normotensive patients, the patients with and without MODS, and survivors versus nonsurvivors.

Our results suggest that lactate level is a better parameter of illness severity and outcome of sepsis than levels of C-reactive protein and creatinine. When compared to the above parameters, the septic score determined on the day of admission to hospital is a much better criterion to classify patients into groups with different severity of sepsis, with and without multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and into survivors and non-survivors.
