    <abstract locale="en_US">Sepsis is known as a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare burdened all around the globe, with&#xA0; imited targeted therapies beyond standard supportive care. Currently, management strategies focus mostly on controlling the infection and hemodynamic stabilization but often fail to address to pathophysiological processes of inflammation, oxidative stress, and microvascular injury. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a potential antioxidant and immunomodulator, and has gained attention as an adjunctive therapy due to its role in reducing oxidative damage, inflammatory responses regulation, and supporting catecholamine synthesis. In addition, the synergistic combination of vitamin C and thiamine has been proposed to enhance cellular metabolism and organ protection in patients who are critically ill. In this study, we investigated the effects of&#xA0; itamin C, both alone and combination with thiamine, on clinical outcomes and biochemical markers in patients with sepsis. Our findings provide new insights into the potential role of vitamin supplementation in modulating disease progression and improving prognosis, highlighting its possible integration into sepsis management strategies.</abstract>
