The present study examined the efficacy of ulinastatin in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with sepsis and/or septic shock. 
Methods: All septic patients admitted to the ICU of Wuhu No. 2 People’s Hospital between 2014 and 2017 were screened for potential eligibility for this retrospective study. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality, and its correlation with ulinastatin was assessed using multiple logistic regression models. 
Results: The study included 263 patients, with an overall 28-day mortality of 38%. Patients receiving ulinastatin showed significantly lower mortality than the control patients (31% vs. 55%; P},
