Mitochondrial DNA Haplogroups and Delirium During Sepsis

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Studies suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction underlies some forms of sepsis-induced organ failure. We sought to test the hypothesis that variations in mitochondrial DNA haplogroup affect susceptibility to sepsis-associated delirium, a common manifestation of acute brain dysfunction during sepsis. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Medical and surgical ICUs at a large tertiary care center....
