Hospitalization for last bloodstream infection is used. All analyses are logistic regression, except for ordered logistic regression for sepsis categories, and are adjusted for age at first Nord-Trøndelag Health Study participation, sex, and the 5 first principal components. The analyses compare genotype group to TT or the effect of each additional C allele (using dosages). Severe sepsis was defined as sepsis with additional diagnosis code of organ dysfunction or the use of diagnosis codes for severe sepsis.
