Data are n (%) unless otherwise indicated.

1

Patients with the event on the index date were excluded from the Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis. As there were no patients with liver incision in the alterations in plasma protein metabolism cohort, and only one patient in the control cohort, this outcome is not reported.

2

There were no patients with fibrosis who had an infection/inflammatory reaction due to prothesis/implant/graft. For one patient in the control cohort, the index date and end date were the same; this patient was automatically excluded from the KM analysis. Median follow-up in patients without the event was estimated via the reverse KM method.

IQR: Interquartile range; APPM: Alterations in plasma protein metabolism.
