GenotypesGenotype frequency (%)OR* (95% CI)p Value*
*Estimated by logistic regression models, adjusting for age, sex, history of alcohol abuse, diabetes, steroid use, APACHE III score and multiple (>1) risk factors for ARDS.
†The genotypes were coded as continuous variables (1, 2 and 3 for wild type, heterozygous and homozygous genotypes, respectively) and entered together into the logistic regression model.
