Risk factors for the development of severe sepsis after burn injury following adjustment for multiple factors.

Variable (n=228)	Odds Ratio	95% CI Odds Ratio	P-value
Age	1.010	0.991–1.028	0.305
Full-thickness burn size	1.025	1.011–1.040	0.001
Gender (female)	1.726	0.813–3.662	0.155
Inhalation injury	2.714	1.246–5.912	0.012
Race/ethnicity	1.197	0.828–1.729	0.339
CD14 -159C	1.668	1.007–2.763	0.047
IL-1β-31C	1.272	0.593–2.726	0.537
IL-6 -174C	2.250	1.037–4.884	0.040
TNF-α-308A	2.602	1.229–5.512	0.013
TLR4 +896G	2.943	1.131–7.660	0.027

Odds ratios were determined by multivariate logistic regression. Age and full thickness burn size were analyzed as continuous variables. The odds ratios listed are for each additional year of age or each 1% increase in burn size. Race/ethnicity included the same categories as in table 1 ▶: Caucasian (n=129), Hispanic (n=51), African-American (n=41) and other (n=7).
