Data are expressed as the median and interquartile range (IQR; 25% to 75%). a = P-value based on the Kruskal--Wallis or Mann--Whitney U test. Statistical differences in the mannose-binding lectin (MBL) levels were analyzed according to genotype within each subgroup. b = P < 0.05 vs. the control group. c = P < 0.05 vs. the severe sepsis group. SNP = single nucleotide polymorphism.
