Variables were tested using logistic regression. Shown are those with in univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis 1, all variables were included in the model. In multivariate analysis 2, the forward LR procedure was used for variable selection. PAP/SAPIPO: pulmonary/systemic mean arterial pressure ratio, mean of first 4 values obtained at the postoperative care unit; CRP: C-reactive protein; NLR: neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio; baseline: day 0 and day 2, respectively, preoperative determination, 4 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass and 2 days after surgery.
