Specifically, Interleukin-17 receptor D (IL-17RD) (OR = 0.67, 95%CI = 0.51–0.89, p = 0.006), Interleukin-22 receptor subunit alpha-1 (IL22RA-1) (OR = 1.45, 95%CI = 1.08–1.96, p = 0.014), Interleukin-20 receptor subunit alpha (IL20RA) (OR = 0.53, 95%CI = 0.32–0.89, p = 0.016), Interleukin-22 (IL-22) (OR = 3.60, 95%CI = 1.20–10.83, p = 0.022), Interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) (OR = 2.14, 95%CI = 1.10–4.17, p = 0.025), Single Ig IL-1-related receptor (SIGIRR) (OR = 1.22, 95%CI = 1.00–1.48, p = 0.047) showed notable associations with ARDS. This evidence concerns the gene IL17RD and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
