IMPORTANCE Whether lowlevels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are associated with increased risk of sepsis and poorer outcomes is unknown.OBJECTIVE To examine the association between LDL-C levels and risk of sepsis among patients admitted to the hospital with infection.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Cohort study in which deidentified electronic health records were used to define a cohort of patients admitted to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, with infection. Patients were white adults, had a code indicating infection from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification, and received an antibiotic within 1 day of hospital admission (N=61 502). Data were collected from January 1, 1993, through December 31, 2017, and analyzed from January 24 through October 31, 2018.INTERVENTIONS Clinically measured LDL-C levels (excluding measurements.05 for all). The LDL-C GRS correlated with measured LDL-C levels (r=0.24; P
