A patient's response to sepsis is influenced by their genetic background. Our objective was to use plasma markers, such as protein C (PC), D-dimer, Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels, and the PAI-1 rs1799889 4G/5G and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α rs1800629 G/A polymorphisms to improve classical intensive care unit (ICU) scores.
