However, as result shown, no statistical difference in the serum syndecan-1 and sTM was seen when all patients (including infection ,sepsis non-shock and septic shock patients) were stratified by bacteremia and non-bacteremia (syndecan-1 82.47(61.14,103.07) vs. 75.84(69.13,87.33) ng/ml), P = 0.924; sTM 6.75(5.26,8.70) vs.7.39(5.81,8.89) ng/ml, P = 0.711). The gene discussed is SDC1; the disease is infection.
