To assess whether interleukin-1 receptor blockade improves survival outcomes in sepsis patients who present with clinical features of macrophage activation syndrome.
Conducted a subgroup analysis of patients presenting with severe sepsis.
Evaluated outcomes specifically among patients with concurrent hepatobiliary dysfunction and disseminated intravascular coagulation as clinical features of macrophage activation syndrome.
Interleukin-1 receptor blockade was associated with a statistically significant improvement in overall patient survival.
Survival advantages were specifically identified in sepsis patients exhibiting the concurrent features of hepatobiliary dysfunction and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
