  1. GC glucocorticoid; PICU paediatric intensive care unit, UTR untranslated region
  2. aA CpG site can be located within multiple splice variants and thus can be situated within multiple gene sections
  3. bPromoter is defined as 0 to 1500 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site
  4. cLog fold change in M-values between former PICU patients and healthy controls adjusted for risk factors with 95% confidence interval
  5. dThe absolute mean difference is the (unadjusted) absolute difference between the mean beta-value of a given CpG within the Former PICU patients and the mean beta-value of a given CpG within the healthy control children
  6. eP-values from multivariable models, adjusted for baseline risk factors and technical variation. All P-values come from separate models. Numbers in bold indicate a significant P-value
  7. fAdjusted for multiple testing using a false discovery rate < 0.05
