a

p values are from Wilcoxon rank sum test and unadjusted for other covariates. CRP: C-Reactive Protein; IGF: Insulin-like growth factor; IL: Interleukin; POD: Postoperative day; S100B: S100 Calcium Binding Protein B. TNFA: Tumor necrosis factor alpha.

b

Calculated as postoperative day 1 minus preoperative baseline;

c

Calculated as postoperative day 3 minus preoperative baseline.
