ABSTRACT
This meta-analysis of 23 eligible articles comprehensively and quantitatively evaluated the effects of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) rs1800629 and rs361525 polymorphisms on sepsis risk. We found that TNF-α rs1800629 was associated with increased sepsis risk in the overall population in four genetic models, including A vs. G (P<0.001, odds ratio (OR)=1.32), GA vs. GG (P<0.001, OR=1.46), GA+AA vs. GG (P<0.001, OR=1.46), and carrier A vs. carrier G (P<0.001, OR=1.32). Subgroup analyses showed a similar result for Asian patients (all P<0.05, OR>1). TNF-α rs361525 was also associated with increased sepsis risk in Asian patients in the four genetic models (all P<0.05, OR>1). Begg’s and Egger’s tests excluded large publication bias, and sensitivity analysis indicated stable results. Our results suggest that the G/A genotype of TNF-α rs1800629 and rs361525 increases sepsis risk in an Asian population.
