Table 4 Wilcoxon rank-sum test of delta neutrophils for before and after cardiopulmonary bypass in two groups of patients (based on baseline oral neutrophil count)
Comparison groups | Median (IQR) | p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
Oral neutrophil counts T0≤1x106/μL | Oral neutrophil counts T0≥1x106/μL | ||
Oral swab T0:T1 | 1.6x105 (1.1x105 - 4.8x105) | 1.9x106 (8.7x105 - 4.0x106) | 0.0002 |
Oral swab T0:T2 | 5.4x104 (1.3x104 - 2.7x105) | 2.7x105 (-1.3x105 - 7.0x105) | 0.40 |
Oral swab T0:T3 | 3.6x104 (-3.9x104 - 1.7x105) | -4.4x104 (-3.8x105 - 3.7x105) | 0.90 |
