Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown associations between low mannose-binding lectin (MBL) level or variant MBL2 genotype and sepsis susceptibility. However, MBL deficiency has not been rigorously defined, and associations with sepsis outcomes have not been subjected to multivariable analysis. METHODS: We reanalyzed MBL results in a large cohort with use of individual data from 4 studies involving a total of...
