Bioinformatics Analysis for Identifying Pertinent Pathways and Genes in Sepsis

Purpose. Sepsis becomes the main death reason in hospitals with rising incidence, causing a growing economic and medical burden. However, the genes related to the pathogenesis and prognosis of sepsis are still unclear, which is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Materials and Methods. Gene...
