Postoperative clinical characteristics in SIRS versus non-SIRS.

	SIRS	non-SIRS
	(n = 12)	(n = 15)
Duration of mechanical ventilation (h)	19 (44)*	11 (9)
ALT (U/L)	530 ± 268	655 ± 410
AST (U/L)	136 (153)	60 (112)
PT (s)	17 ± 4	16 ± 2
BUN (mmol/L)	19 ± 11	13 ± 6
Cr (μmol/L)	102 ± 56	92 ± 40
Pulmonary infecttion	9/12	6/15

Mean ± SD or median (Q), *P < .05, compared with the non-SIRS group.

ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase; PT = prothrombin time; BUN = blood urea nitrogen; SCr = serum creatinine.

Duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation in the SIRS group was significantly longer than non-SIRS group. Hepatic function, renal function and pulmonary infecttion after the surgery also did not differ between the 2 groups.
