Figure 1:

1A: Elevated levels of IL-8 at 6 hours post-op are correlated with neurocognitive decline at postoperative day 4 (POD4, p=0.04). 1B: Postoperative leukocytosis (WBC ≥ 10.5×10³mm) was associated with NCD at POD4 when compared to their baseline function (p=0.03). 1C: HbA1c levels are not correlated with NCD at POD4 (p=0.973). 1D: Elevated fasting glucose levels (>126mg/dL) are not associated with NCD at POD4 (p=0.910). 1E: Among patients with normal HbA1c levels, elevated fasting glucose levels are also not associated with NCD. 1F: Glucose levels during CPD are not associated with postoperative NCD (p=0.639). NCD=neurocognitive decline, POD4=postoperative day 4, CPD=cardiopulmonary bypass
