In the forward stepwise multivariate model, patients in the median (adjusted HR 2.11, 95% CI 1.24–3.60, p = 0.006) and in the high Gal-1 tertiles (adjusted HR 3.21, 95% CI 1.90–5.42, p < 0.001) were still associated with greater 90-day mortality after adjusting for the BMI, malignancy, sepsis, SOFA score, and lactate concentration. Here, LGALS1 is linked to Sepsis.
