Scoping review reveals elevated interleukin-6 and higher mortality in trauma patients with stress-induced hyperglycemia, highlighting the need to clarify injury severity interactions.
SIH patients had elevated IL-6 concentrations relative to NDN, DN, and DH patients. SIH is linked to higher mortality in trauma, with greater odds than NDN. However, the robustness of this association is still being determined due to statistical and clinical variability. Uncertainties about injury severity and IL-6 level similarities between SIH and DH patients require further investigation.
