Abstract in brief

  • The study found that critically ill surgical sepsis patients tend to have lower serum zinc levels compared to healthy individuals, and those with even lower zinc levels are more prone to recurrent sepsis and worse outcomes.
  • Lower zinc levels in septic patients are also linked to greater organ dysfunction and increased mortality rates at 28 and 90 days.
  • The research suggests that serum zinc could be a useful biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring sepsis, but it's unclear whether low zinc levels are a cause or a result of the sepsis condition.
