However, there was no difference in the baseline RBP4 levels between the septic and non-septic patients [p = 0.161, regardless of adjusting for pulmonary disease (yes: p = 0.337; no: p = 0.221)], between those with or without pulmonary disease (p = 0.879), nor was there a difference in the baseline RBP4 levels between the cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients (p = 0.303). This evidence concerns the gene RBP4 and lung disorder.
