Comparison of frequencies of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist alleles in children with community-acquired pneumonia–induced ALI/ARDS
| Presence or absence of ALI/ARDS |
||
|---|---|---|
| Copies of the A1 allele | No ALI/ARDS, n (%) | ALI/ARDS, n (%) |
| 2, n = 549 | 522 (74.6) | 27 (61.4) |
| 1, n = 171 | 158 (22.6) | 13 (29.5) |
| 0, n = 24 | 20 (2.9) | 4 (9.1)a |
p = 0.023 by chi-square analysis.
ALI, acute lung injury; ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome.
