Study cohort overview of routine data and additional plasma marker. (A) Schematic overview of available data. (B) Pairwise-associations tests of routinely available preoperative data with four outcome parameters. Colors and size of the circle indicate the strength of association. The first nine columns correspond to general clinical information and known risk factors. The last 11 columns represent routine blood markers measured one day before surgery. The risk of mortality was significantly associated with the level of preoperative total bilirubin after adjusting for multiple testing (Kruskal–Wallis test unadjusted p value of 0.0033, FDR adj. p = 0.084).
