Patients with viral sepsis showed a trend of having lower LIGHT levels than patients with bacterial sepsis, albeit not statistically different ( p = 0.060).
Patients with viral sepsis showed a trend of having lower LIGHT levels than patients with bacterial sepsis, albeit not statistically different ( p = 0.060).
Borderline significance was seen between increased length of ICU/hospital stay (LOS) and elevated LIGHT ( r = 0.196, p = 0.063).
Overall, IL-18 levels were correlated with Apache III scores, mortality, and AKI, with highly significant p -values, and correlated with AHRF and ARDS with nominal significance.
The detrimental roles of LIGHT in multi-organ failure were mainly seen in bacterial sepsis, including ARDS/AHRF, AKI, and its association with higher Apache III score, as well as length of hospital stay, with a significant trend toward higher mortality rates.
