Table shows incidence of different complications in control and filter groups, risk differences and corresponding 95 % confidence interval (CI) according to Wald method

Calculation of a P value was statistically inappropriate in a subgroup analysis. Therefore, risk differences in incidence rates and their corresponding 95 % CI were determined. A 95 % CI on either side below zero indicated a statistically significant difference between both groups (*). SIRS, renal and hematologic dysfunction were significantly reduced in the filter group
