A growing body of evidence indicates that the immune system plays a central role in sepsis. By analyzing immune genes, we sought to establish a robust gene signature and develop a nomogram that could predict mortality in patients with sepsis. Herein, data were extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus and Biological Information Database of Sepsis (BIDOS) databases. We enrolled 479 participants with complete survival data using the GSE65682 dataset, and grouped them randomly into training (n = 240) and internal validation (n = 239) sets based on a 1:1 proportion. GSE95233 was set as the external validation dataset (n=51). We validated the expression and prognostic value of the immune genes using the BIDOS database. We established a prognostic immune genes signature (including ADRB2, CTSG, CX3CR1, CXCR6, IL4R, LTB, and TMSB10)
