Core Tip	The study explores the association of interleukin-6 levels with the risk of developing acute lung injury and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in critically ill sepsis patients. It underscores its potential as a valuable biomarker for prognosis and guiding treatment in intensive care settings. However, limitations like an observational study design, a limited sample size, a single center involvement, single-time-point measurement, and no control group should be considered in further research.
