In addition, indicators of inflammation, bacterial infection and blood coagulation, including procalcitonin (0.166 ng/mL vs. 0.076 ng/mL, P <  0.001), C-reactive protein (CRP; 107.3 vs. 37.65, P <  0.001), and D-dimer (6.32 vs. 1.09, P <  0.001), showed a higher level in the non-survivors. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is bacterial infectious disease.
