Multivariable Association between Grade-3 Primary Graft Dysfunction (PGD) and total volume of intraoperative fluids and its components (N =494)

Variables PGD Grade ≥ 3 (N = 123) PGD Grade 0–2 (N = 371) Adjusted OR (95% CI)* P value*
Total volume of intraoperative fluids (L) 5.0 [3.8,7.5] 3.9 [2.9,5.2] 1.22 (1.12, 1.34) <0.001
Components of intraoperative fluids 99.2% CI
Volume of crystalloid solution (L) 3.0 [2.2, 4.0] 2.7 [2.1, 3.5] 1.0 (0.73, 1.37) 0.99
Volume of colloid solution (L) 0.3[0, 0.5] 0.3 [0, 0.5] 1.61(0.73, 3.60) 0.11
Volume of red blood cells (L) a 1.1 [0, 1.8] 0.4 [0, 1.1] 1.7 (1.08, 2.7) 0.002
Fresh frozen plasma (N of patients received, %) 54 (44) 84 (23) 0.99 (0.38, 2.53) 0.97
Platelet concentrate (N of patients received, %) 58 (47) 86 (23) 0.98 (0.39, 2.48) 0.96
Cryoprecipitate (N of patients received, %) 24 (20) 12 (3) 2.54 (0.68, 9.54) 0.06

Data are presented as mean ± SD, N (%), or median [25th, 75th percentiles].

CI – confidence interval; OR - odds ratio adjusted for the history of Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, ischemia time, double lung transplant, use of cardiopulmonary bypass, average mean pulmonary artery pressure post-reperfusion, and average fraction of inspired oxygen post-reperfusion; N – number of patients Significance criterion for the total volume of intraoperative fluids was P < 0.05. As for the individual components of intraoperative fluids, P < 0.008 (Bonferroni correction, 0.05/6) was required to claim significance.
