The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay is a sensitive method for detecting endotoxin. Using gramnegative (GN) bacteremia as the basis for comparison, concordance with endotoxemia in 45 studies could be expressed as an odds ratio. Calculation of summary odds ratios by the Mantel-Haenszel-Peto method indicated
