Shown are the markers for which significant differences (within subjects and/or between groups) were observed. Results are presented as median with interquartile range. Levels of proteins obtained by chemiluminescence are given in units of pixel intensity (upi). Data were analyzed after Box-Cox transformation using the general linear model for repeated measures. PAP/SAPIPO: pulmonary/systemic mean arterial pressure ratio, mean of first 4 values (2-hour intervals) obtained in the postoperative care unit; CPB: cardiopulmonary bypass; CRP: C-reactive protein; MPV: mean platelet volume; NLR: neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio.
