Time-dependent cytokine release in cardiac surgery patients. Timepoints were defined as: preoperative (0), immediately postoperative (4 to 6 hours), first postoperative day (24 hours), 2nd (48 hours) and 3rd postoperative day (72 hours). Samples were taken between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. except postoperatively. Different genotype groups (DSNP = Mal/TLR4 combination, light grey bars; Mal[hom] = TIRAP/Mal-homozygous, grey bars; TLR4 = patients with TLR4-SNPs, dark grey bars; WT = wild-type patients, black bars). There were no statistical differences between the genotype groups at the timepoints. All values are shown as median and interquartile range.
