It includes sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock. In the intensive care unit (ICU), sepsis has a higher mortality rate.

All the analysis results were visualized by the boxplot, Venn diagram, and circular barplot. After downloading three datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), differentially expressed genes (DEGs), common genes of the three datasets, Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways enrichment analysis were analyzed and shown. Next, we screened hub genes. Finally, three receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted separately for patients of three diseases versus 20 healthy normal subjects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Our analysis of 1,245 clinical specimens revealed that the co-occurrence of elevated FVIII (&amp;gt;150%) and reduced FXII (&amp;lt;50%) was most prevalent in three diseases: cirrhosis (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f8), pneumonia (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f5), and sepsis (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f4). Multi-dataset screening identified 70 common differentially expressed genes. Protein\u2013protein interaction network analysis pinpointed CD163 as the top hub gene (degree\u202f=\u202f13). Critically, ROC analyses demonstrated that the FVIII\/FXII ratio exhibited superior diagnostic performance for sepsis (AUC\u202f=\u202f0.920), outperforming both FVIII (AUC\u202f=\u202f0.710) and FXII
