Statistical Analysis
The differences in the genotype frequencies of lncRNA TDRG1rs8506 and the demographic variables between sepsis cases and healthy
controls were compared applying the χ2 test.
Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) of the healthy controls for rs8506 was
tested using the goodness-of-fit χ2 test. Multivariate
logistic regression analyses were carried out to calculate the odd
ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for risk of
sepsis, which were also stratified by the age, gender, sepsis subtype,
prognosis and the number of organs with dysfunction.
