Association between oxidized nucleobases and mitochondrial DNA damage with long-term mortality in patients with sepsis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Sepsis not only leads to short-term mortality during hospitalization, but is also associated with increased mortality during long-term follow-up after hospital discharge. Metabolic stress during sepsis may cause oxidative damage to both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and RNA, which could affect long-term health and life span. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the association of...
