In addition, with respect to all the continuous variables of clinical characteristics, miR‐125b expression was negatively correlated with SCr (P < 0.001), WBC (P = 0.007), CRP (P < 0.001), PCT (P < 0.001), TNF‐α (P < 0.001), IL‐6 (P < 0.001), IL‐8 (P < 0.001) and IL‐17 (P < 0.001) levels, and the APACHE II score (P < 0.001) as well as SOFA score (P < 0.001), while was not associated with age (P = 0.641), BMI (P = 0.659), or albumin level (P = 0.171) in sepsis patients (Table 4). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL8 and Sepsis.
