Factors Associated with Postoperative Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation in Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipients

Figure 1

Box plots showing the distribution of age (months) and weight (Kg) stratified by postoperative ventilation status among 128 pediatric liver transplant recipients. Expectedly age and weight data were skewed. Children requiring prolonged postoperative ventilation were significantly younger () and weighed less () than those who were extubated early. PMV: prolonged mechanical ventilation. Circles and stars refer to outliers or extreme values.
