    Each year, 13.4 million cases of prematurity occur globally, significantly impacting the health of preterm infants and their families.

  • 3

    Interleukin−6 (IL−6) is linked to preterm labor initiation and various complications, including bronchopulmonary dysplasia and neonatal septicemia.

  • 4

    IL-6 levels peak six hours after inflammation begins, aiding in the diagnosis of early-onset neonatal sepsis more effectively than CRP.

  • 5

    The IL-6 threshold for diagnosing neonatal sepsis in preterm infants remains undetermined despite its recognized importance as a biomarker.
