Figure 2From: Hyperbilirubinaemia after major thoracic surgery: comparison between open-heart surgery and oesophagectomyPatients with hyperbilirubinaemia were divided into two subgroups according to the existence of infection. (a) Course of TB, (b) CRP and (c) WBC in subgroups of each group [left column, C group (open-heart surgery); right column, E group (oesophagectomy)] after operation. Open triangles show each parameter in the C group patients without infection, and closed triangles show each parameter in the C group patients with infection. Open squares show each parameter in the E group patients without infection, and closed squares show each parameter in the E group patients with infection. *P<0.05, versus infection.Back to article page
