Abstract

Sepsis is a condition with high mortality rates and its diagnosis remains a challenge. Therefore, a new diagnostic biomarker
or combinations of biomarkers for diagnosis of sepsis should be developed. In total, 80 patients who were suspected of
having sepsis were followed up for 7days. Quick Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) scores were calculated
day 1 and day 7; four biomarkers (intercellular adhesion molecule-1, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, plasminogen
activator inhibitor-1 and soluble Fas ligand) results were evaluated the same. In 7 days in sepsis patients, blood serum
concentrations of biomarker intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) increased, p=0.022.
