  1. Proteins and clinical covariates associated with post-operative hypoxemia burden (top) and length of stay (bottom) in the final selected multi-protein model. Considered clinical covariates included demographic and diagnostic variables. Positive coefficients indicate a direct relationship between the candidate predictor and outcome of interest while negative coefficients indicate an inverse relationship. MMP = matrix metalloprotease, FGF = fibroblast growth factor, 48h low sat% = percent of the first 48 post-operative hours with oxygen saturation < 70%. Adjusted R2 value reflects results of the final selected model including all variables listed.
