Observational Study
Genome-wide association study of survival from sepsis due to pneumonia: an observational cohort study.
Sepsis continues to be a major cause of death, disability, and health-care expenditure worldwide. Despite evidence suggesting that host genetics can influence sepsis outcomes, no specific loci have yet been convincingly replicated. The aim of this study was to identify genetic variants that influence sepsis survival. ⋯ European Commission and the Wellcome Trust.
