Task: Question Generation
Input (English): The present meta-analysis aimed to investigate whether there is an association between SERPINE1 rs1799768 polymorphism and sepsis risk and mortality.', 'Published reports were searched in PubMed, PubMed Central, Gene, PubChem and Google Scholar. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were assessed in a random-effects model.', 'The results of the overall meta-analysis indicated that an increased sepsis risk was evidently associated with SERPINE1 rs1799768 polymorphism (OR = 1.30; 95% CI 1.08-1.56; p = 0.006). When studies were stratified by ethnicity, no significant association was observed between SERPINE1 rs1799768 polymorphism and sepsis risk in the Asian group. As for the Caucasian population, overall OR was 1.24 (95% CI 1.02-1.51; p = 0.03). The results of the overall meta-analysis indicated that an increased sepsis mortality risk was evidently associated with SERPINE1 rs1799768 polymorphism (OR = 1.73; 95% CI 1.31-2.28; p < 0.0001). When studies were stratified by ethnicity, significant association was observed between SERPINE1 rs1799768 polymorphism and sepsis risk mortality in the Asian group and the Caucasian population.
Output (English): Does sERPINE1 rs1799768 polymorphism contribute to sepsis risk and mortality?
