Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and organ dysfunction make it challenging to predict which major trauma patients are at risk of developing sepsis. Additionally, the unclear pathogenesis of sepsis after trauma contributes to its high morbidity and mortality. Identifying early predictive and diagnostic biomarkers, as well as exploring related metabolic pathways, is crucial for improving early prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
