Stratified Analysis
We further performed a stratified analysis of the relationship between lncRNA TDRG1 rs8506 polymorphism and sepsis susceptibility by clinical features (Table 3). The rs8506 TT genotype was found to be markedly associated with an increased sepsis risk among the children aged 12–60 months (TT vs. CC/CT: OR = 2.377, 95%CI = 1.068–5.286, P = 0.0338; adjusted OR = 2.413, 95%CI = 1.083–5.376, P = 0.0311), females (TT vs. CC/CT: OR = 2.848, 95%CI = 1.218–6.658, P = 0.0157; adjusted OR = 2.868, 95%CI = 1.226–6.714, P = 0.0152), sepsis (TT vs. CC/CT: OR = 2.508, 95%CI = 1.139–5.522, P = 0.0224; adjusted OR = 2.533, 95%CI = 1.149–5.586, P = 0.0213), and survivors (TTvs. CC/CT: OR = 1.845, 95%CI = 1.061–3.209, P = 0.0301; adjusted OR = 1.822, 95%CI = 1.046–3.175, P = 0.0343). However, no significant associations were found in other stratified analyses.
