Additional file 1: of Cytokine clearance with CytoSorb® during cardiac surgery: a pilot randomized controlled trial

Table S1. Baseline and peri-operative characteristics of patients included in the coagulation sub study. *There were no significant differences between the groups with regard to any pre-operative or intra-operative characteristics (all p values > 0.05) except for protamine/heparin ratio (p = 0.02). †Chronic kidney disease was defined by a creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min. ‡Chronic heart failure was defined by a left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%. CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting, IQR interquartile range, SAPS II simplified acute physiology score, SD standard deviation, ICU intensive care unit. Table S2. Outcomes of patients included in the coagulation sub study. Table S3. Minimal detection range of cytokines by the Luminex® Platform. Table S4. Haemoglobin, platelets and coagulation tests. To be considered, pre-operative values, had to be obtained within 24 h of the procedure. Post-operative values were obtained on ICU admission. Abbreviations: aPTT activated partial thromboplastin time, INR international normalized ratio. p value for the effect of group in ANOVA for repeated measures. Table S5. Detailed list of adverse events. Table S6. Cause of death. (RTF 370 kb)
