Figure 4 The perioperative kinetics of presepsin levels compared between patients with and without infection in the preoperative high and low groups(A) Preoperative high presepsin level group (n=5); (B) Preoperative low presepsin level group (n=8). The dotted line indicates patients without infectious complications, and the solid line indicates patients with infectious complications within 15 days postoperatively. An error bar shows the standard error of the mean. (Microsoft Excel for Macintosh, version 16.16.27, Microsoft).
