Relationship plasma galectin-3 level and POD. (A) The violin chart showed that plasma galectin-3 levels were compared between NON-POD group and POD group. The white dots show the median and the difference was tested by Mann–Whitney U test, p < 0.01. (B) Incidence of POD in subgroups divided by galectin-3 level quartiles. Q1, ≤ 4.24 ng/ml; Q2, 4.24–8.17 ng/ml; Q3, 8.17–15.23 ng/ml; Q4, ≥ 15.23 ng/ml.
