* Lack of association between factor V Leiden and sepsis: a meta-analysis. |
- Some studies evaluated the association of factor V Leiden (FVL) with sepsis risk and mortality risk. However, the results were conflicting. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to address the association between FVL and sepsis. PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched to find relevant studies. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using random effects model. Five case-control studies and 3 cohort studies were included. Overall, no significant association between FVL and sepsis risk was observed (OR = 0.93; 95% CI 0.74-1.15; P = .49). In addition, there was no significant association between FVL and sepsis-related mortality (OR = 1.17; 95% CI 0.73-1.88; P = .52). In the subgroup analysis, no increased sepsis risk and mortality risk were found in caucasian population. This meta-analysis suggested that FVL was not a risk factor for sepsis and sepsis mortality. |
