ABSTRACT
Introduction: Sepsis and septic shock are important causes of mortality in intensive care unit patients, hence early diagnosis therapy management their treatment. The available information on sepsis patients is not enough to recommend or discard the routine evaluation triglyceride (TG) levels at onset sepsis. aim this study was investigate association hypertriglyceridemia clinical outcome (or mortality) with severe Materials methods: Between January 1 December 31, 2011, a total 84 from internal Kayseri Training Research Hospital, Kayseri, Turkey, were investigated retrospectively. defined according American College Chest Physicians/Society Critical Care Medicine/European Society Intensive Medicine consensus conference definitions. For each patient, survival recorded end last day hospitalization as dead alive. TG values taken retrospectively records, which performed routinely for patient time diagnosis. >150 mg/dL considered hypertriglyceridemia. Results: percentages male female 44% 56%, respectively. mean age 71.49±11.071 years. percentage more than 150 81% (25/31) non-survivor group 19% (6/31) survivor group. There significant difference regarding between groups ( P =0.039). Discussion: It observed that had high levels. We also level 0 hour (onset sepsis) predictive marker rate. contribution might be modest compared increase severity illness, but, nevertheless, these simple measurements represent potential therapeutic target Keywords: triglyceride, prognosis, mortality,
