• A core temperature of ≥ 38º C (100.4º F) or ≤ 36º C (96.8º F).
• Heart rate of ≥90 beats/min, except in patients with a medical condition known to increase the heart rate or those receiving treatment that would prevent tachycardia.

• A white cell count of ≥12,000/mm3 or ≤4,000/mm3 or a differential count showing >10% immature neutrophils.
4. Criteria for Dysfunctional Organs or Systems: Patient has to meet at least one of the following six criteria:
• For cardiovascular system dysfunction, the arterial systolic blood pressure (SBP) has to be ≤90 mmHg or the mean arterial pressure ≤70 mmHg for at least 1 hour despite adequate fluid resuscitation, adequate intravascular volume status or the use of vasopressors in an attempt to maintain a SBP of ≥90 mmHg or a mean arterial pressure of ≥70 mmHg.
• For kidney dysfunction, urine output has to be <0.5 ml/kg of body weight/ hour for 1 hour, despite adequate fluid resuscitation.
• For respiratory dysfunction, the ratio of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) to fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) has to be ≤250 in the presence of other dysfunctional organs or systems or ≤200 if the lung is the only dysfunctional organ.
• For hematologic dysfunction, the platelet count has to be <80,000/mm3 or to have decreased by 50% in the 3 days preceding enrolment.
• In the case of unexplained metabolic acidosis, the pH has to be ≤7.30 or the base deficit has to be ≥ 5.0 mmol/L in association with a plasma lactate level that is >1.5 times the upper limit of the normal (ULN) value for the reporting laboratory.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Studies in patients with sepsis have shown that there is a decrease in serum levels of Ulinastatin, with lowest levels being found in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Previous studies have shown that Ulinastatin administration to patients with SIRS reduces the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as polymorphonuclear leukocyte elastase, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and Interleukin 6 and serum C‑reactive protein and increase in the levels of anti‑inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-10. In few studies, Ulinastatin has also shown reduction in the mortality, confirming the benefit of its addition to patients with sepsis, severe sepsis and shock.

Primary Objective of the study is to evaluate the 28-day mortality
