Abstract

PURPOSE: Septic shock (SS) is one of the leading causes of death in critically ill patients. The prognostic value of random cortisol concentration in sepsis remains a controversial issue. Patients with SS may have lower basal cortisol levels (BCL) compared to the healthy population. In addition, the prevalence of myocardial injury is found to be increased in patients with SS. We evaluated the relationship between low BCL and cardiac injury in patients with SS.
