Odds of Developing Early Complications Based on Lymphatic Perfusion Pattern
| Lymphatic Perfusion Pattern | No. (%) of Patients (N=122)a | Unadjusted OR (95% CI) | P Value | Adjusted OR (95% CI)b | P Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | 39 (32) | Reference | ··· | ··· | ··· |
| Type 2 | 41 (34) | 1.55 (0.49–4.85) | 0.454 | 1.56 (0.48–5.00) | 0.458 |
| Type 3+4c | 42 (35)d | 6.05 (2.10–17.46)d | 0.001d | 6.28 (2.13–18.5)d | 0.001d |
OR indicates odds ratio.
a
Total number of patients with T2 imaging available for an analysis of lymphatic perfusion pattern.
b
Results hold after adjusting for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and ventricular morphological characteristics (left ventricle vs right ventricle [RV], with RV as reference group: OR, 0.46 [95% CI, 0.15–1.39] [P=0.168]; CBP time: OR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.99–1.06] [P=0.213]).
c
Results for type 3 and type 4 hold separately.
d
Significant P value.
