Introduction: Sepsis is a critical, life-threatening condition that demands timely identification and management to minimize mortality and morbidity. Early intervention plays a pivotal role in altering disease progression and improving outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate fasting lipid profiles and National Early Warning Scores (NEWS) in sepsis patients and explore their relationship with clinical outcomes. Methodology: A prospective analytical study was conducted at KIMS, Karad, involving 100 sepsis patients aged between 18 and 75 years. Data collection included recording vital signs, conducting clinical evaluations, and measuring fasting lipid profiles. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Chi-square and t-tests were employed to determine associations between lipid levels, NEWS, and patient outcomes. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 58.04 ± 17.48 years, with a male predominance (61%) compared to females (39%). Survivors comprised 61% of the cohort, while 39% were non-survivors. Among non-survivors, significant abnormalities in lipid profiles were noted, with lower HDL levels (31.87 ± 13.17 mg/dL) and higher levels of total cholesterol (189.48 ± 51.27 mg/dL), triglycerides (172.21 ± 67.38 mg/dL), LDL (89.21 ± 19.65 mg/dL), and VLDL (29.71 ± 9.30 mg/dL) compared to survivors. Furthermore, non-survivors exhibited a significantly elevated mean NEWS score of 12.31 ± 2.81, indicating a higher severity of illness and increased risk of mortality compared to survivors, whose mean NEWS score was 9.87 ± 2.23. Conclusion: This study underscores the critical importance of assessing lipid profiles and NEWS in patients with sepsis. Significant correlations between these parameters and patient outcomes were identified. Elevated lipid levels and higher NEWS scores were strongly associated with increased mortality, emphasizing their potential role in risk stratification and the clinical management of sepsis. These findings suggest that integrating these markers into routine sepsis evaluation may improve patient outcomes through timely and targeted interventions.
