Figure 1
Role of Down syndrome, type of cardiac anomaly and preoperative peripheral oxygen saturation (O2 Sat) on early postoperative hemodynamics (PAP/SAPIPO, pulmonary/systemic mean arterial pressure ratio, mean of first four values computed in the intensive care unit, readings at 2 h intervals). Analyses were performed using the general linear model after Box-Cox transformation of the dependent variable. Results are presented as means with SE (A,C–E) or adjusted means with SE after inclusion of baseline oxygen saturation as a covariate in the statistical model (B,F with covariate p values of 0.006 and 0.005, respectively). In (C–E) groups not sharing the same letter were different (post-hoc multiple comparisons). AVSD atrioventricular septal defect, VSD ventricular septal defect.
