As shown in Figure 3, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand levels (TRAIL) (OR = 1.094, 95%CI = 1.012 ~ 1.183, P = 0.025) and vascular endothelial growth factor A levels (VEGF-A) (OR = 1.182, 95%CI = 1.016 ~ 1.375, P = 0.031) were associated with an increased risk of sepsis. This evidence concerns the gene VEGFA and Sepsis.
