Values presented are area under the receiver operator curve with (95% confidence intervals). Values highlighted in bold are statistically significant P < 0.05.

suPAR and CRP beyond POD1 were not used to predict prolonged ICU stay or prolonged ventilation as those patients still in ICU or still ventilated on POD2 automatically qualified in those categories.
CRP: C-reactive protein; ICU: intensive care unit; PreOp: preoperative; POD1, 2 or 3: postoperative days 1, 2 or 3; suPAR: soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor.
