p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Variables | (Median ± IQR or mean ± SD) | (Median ± IQR or mean ± SD) | |
| Age (year) | 63 ± 11 | 64 ± 9.5 | 0.49 |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 26.22 ± 3.43 | 27.14 ± 4.45 | 0.15 |
| BSA (m2) | 1.80 ± 0.20 | 1.85 ± 0.23 | 0.15 |
| Sex (male) | 38 (47.5%) | 42 (52.5%) | 0.13 |
| Cross clamping time (min) | 42 ± 16 | 39.5 ± 12.75 | 0.06 |
| Mechanical ventilation time (h) | 9.42 ± 3.05 | 9.68 ± 3.31 | 0.68 |
| Preoperative ejection fraction (%) | 50 ± 7.5 | 50 ± 12.50 | 0.55 |
| Postoperative ejection fraction (%) | 50 ± 8.75 | 50 ± 10 | 0.95 |
| ICU stay (h) | 48 ± 24 | 48 ± 24 | 0.29 |
BMI: body mass index, BSA: body surface area, CPB: cardiopulmonary bypass, ICU: intensive care unit, IQR: interquartile range. The p value was calculated by the student’s t-test for data with normal distribution. Frequencies between groups were compared with the Chi-squares test.
Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.
Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
