BACKGROUNDInterleukin 6 (IL-6) functions as both a pro-inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory cytokine.OBJECTIVETo evaluate the levels of IL-6 in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).METHODSLevel of IL-6 was assessed and recorded for 14 days subsequent to the injury in 161 multiple trauma patients. MODS were diagnosed using Marshal Score. Injury Severity Scoring (ISS) was measured for all patients.RESULTSThe results of this study indicated that there was a significant relationship between the level of IL-6 and ISS on the first and second days post trauma (P=0.0001). The high level of IL-6 on the second day post trauma was associated with high mortality rate.CONCLUSIONOur study suggests the second day as the golden time for measuring the serum levels of IL-6. These findings warn us to take more health care actions in patients with higher serum levels of IL-6 on the second day.
