Figures & data

Table 1. Patient demographic data and the significant results in the survivor and nonsurvivor groups

	Survivors (n:48)	Nonsurvivors (n:16)
Median age (months) (range)	4 months (0–22 months)	3 months (0–22 months)
Mean body weight (kg)	5.49 ± 3.81	5.72 ± 3.34
Sex (F/M)	16/32	6/10
Total bypass time (min)	119.06 ± 48.33	179.26 ± 63.39
Aorta clamping time (min)	71.59 ± 31.3	106.42 ± 42.44
Acute renal failure (n)	4 (8.3%)	12 (75%)
Postoperative hypotension (n)	14 (29%)	12 (75%)
Low cardiac output(n)	10 (16.6%)	21 (81%)
Mean postoperative serum albumin level (gr/dL)	3.71 ± 0.49	3.16 ± 0.44
Postoperative C-reactive protein (mg/dL)	46.64 ± 19.98	49.87 ± 15.99
Presence of sepsis	4 (8.5 %)	2 (12.5%)

^*p < 0.05.

Figure 1 Postoperative serum albumin level of < 3.5 g/dL was significantly associated with high risk of mortality (OR: 4.3, CI 95%:1.05–17.86).
