The results of sensitivity analysis suggest that elevated serum HE4 levels were related to higher risk of cardiac complications in patients with sepsis (OR = 2.1; 95% CI, 1.19\u20133.17; P &amp;lt;.001) and in patients without sepsis (OR = 2.29; 95% CI, 1.33\u20134.71l; P = .005), respectively, after adjustments for clinical confounding factors were made. Sepsis did not have a modification effect on the association between serum and cardiac complications among these patients. Also, the results of ROC curve analysis showed that serum HE4 levels have good predictive value for predicting cardiac complications in patients with burns (AUC = 0.708; 95% CI, 0.61\u20130.81; P &amp;lt;.001).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In the current study, we identified that elevated HE4 levels contributed to increased risk of cardiac complications in the hospital in patients with burns.
