Fig 1. Relationships between predicted and measured CRP levels on POD1 and postoperative complications.

Fig 1

Scatter-points represent actual data for 88 patients undergoing mastectomy (A) and for 68 patients undergoing laparoscopic colon surgery (D). Receiver operating characteristic curves for major complications (the Clavien-Dindo grade IIIa or greater) after mastectomy (B) and laparoscopic colon surgery (E) with predicted C-reactive protein levels on postoperative day 1 in the validation cohort. Box and whisker plots show associations between postoperative complications, measured CRP levels, and predicted CRP levels after mastectomy (C) and laparoscopic colon surgery (F). Postoperative complications were graded as: no complication or Clavien-Dindo grade I, Clavien-Dindo grade II, and Clavien-Dindo grade IIIa or greater. Statistically significant levels were considered as **P < 0.01 vs. no complications or Clavien-Dindo grade I. CRP: C-reactive protein, POD: postoperative day.
