The serine protease inhibitor clade E member 1 (SERPINE1) gene has been suggested to exert great influence on the development of sepsis. But there is little overlap in the results of association between SERPINE1 -675 4G/5G polymorphism and sepsis.To get a more precise estimation of this association, we conducted a meta-analysis with a relatively larger sample size including 1806 cases and 2239 controls. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to evaluate the relationship between -675 4G/5G polymorphism and sepsis susceptibility. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on ethnicity and source of controls.The results showed that there was no association of the SERPINE1 polymorphism and sepsis susceptibility (5G5G vs 4G4G: OR = 0.87, CI = 0.75-1.03; 5G5G+4G5G vs 4G4G: OR = 0.93, CI = 0.84-1.02; 5G5G vs 4G4G+4G5G: OR = 0.96, CI = 0.83-1.11; 5G vs 4G: OR = 0.94, CI = 0.86-1.01; 4G5G vs 4G4G: OR = 0.90, CI = 0.80-1.01). Nor did any subgroup analysis indicate a significant association.In conclusion, -675 4G/5G polymorphism in the SERPINE1 gene may not be associated with the risk of sepsis.

Comprehensive international bibliographic biomedical database that enables users to track and retrieve precise information on drugs and diseases from pre-clinical studies to searches on critical toxicological information. It contains bibliographic records with citations, abstracts and indexing derived from biomedical articles in peer reviewed journals, and is especially strong in its coverage of drug and pharmaceutical research. Embase can help with everything from clinical trials research to pharmacovigilance and is updated online daily and weekly. Its broad biomedical scope covers the following areas: * Drug therapy and research, including pharmaceutics, pharmacology and toxicology * Clinical and experimental (human) medicine * Basic biological science relevant to human medicine * Biotechnology and biomedical engineering, including medical devices * Health policy and management, including pharmacoeconomics * Public, occupational and environmental health, including pollution control * Veterinary science, dentistry, and nursing The Embase Application Programming Interface supports export, RSS feeds, and integration services, making it possible to share data with a wide range of systems.
