Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined the relationship between the plasma IL-18 levels, IL-18 promoter polymorphism, and outcomes or pathological conditions of the patients in the emergency intensive care unit (ICU). Only sex, APACHE II score, and plasma IL-18 level were identified as independent predictors of mortality by multivariate analysis. The plasma IL-18 levels were correlated with APACHE II score, and the patients who did not survive showed significantly higher levels of plasma IL-18 as compared with survivors. Patients who did not survive and had the -607 CA genotype (CA/GC or CA/GG) showed significantly higher plasma IL-18 levels than survivors with the same genotype. However, there were no relationship between IL-18 promoter genotypes and pathological conditions (non-sepsis, sepsis, septic shock). And there were also no relationship between IL-18 promoter genotypes and the neutrophil ability or gender difference. Plasma IL-18 levels may be predictive of outcome in patients with sepsis.
