Prognostic value of hemostasis-related parameters for prediction of organ dysfunction and mortality in sepsis.

Background/aim: Clinical manifestations of sepsis are not caused directly by the invading pathogens, but rather mostly by systemic inflammation that leads to activation of the coagulation system. The aim of this study was to determine whether levels of hemostasis- related parameters measured in intensive care unit admissions are associated with mortality and severity in patients with sepsis.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-five patients who fulfilled criteria for a diagnosis of sepsis were included in our study.
