  1. Data are expressed as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Potential confounders in model one (adjusted 1) were: preoperative age, glomerular filtration rates and EuroSCORE 2. In the second model (adjusted 2), we further adjusted for: preoperative C-reactive protein, pulmonary hypertension, valve surgery, combination surgery, redo coronary artery bypass grafting and/or cardiac valve surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass time
