Association between septic complications and genotype in 375 patients of Group I

Genotype Severe Infections (n = 102) aOR 95% CI P value
Wild-type
(n = 240)
64 (26.7%) 0.87 0.51 - 1.48 0.69
Mutant alleles

TLR4 (n = 41) 10 (24. 4%) 1.57 0.73 to 3.37 0.33
TIRAP (het)
(n = 75)
15 (20.0%) 0.87 0.49 to 1.56 0.65
TIRAP (hom) (n = 10) 7 (70.0%) 7.33 1.89 to 28.50 < 0.01
TIRAP/TLR4 genotype (n = 9) 6 (66.7%) 5.50 1.34 to 22.64 0.02

aOR (odds ratio) when comparing severe infections (severe sepsis and septic shock) to patients with no infection. Calculated by comparison of wild type-patients with patients bearing other variants through Mantel-Haenzel's statistic and Fisher's exact test.
