Figure 1 Comparison of preoperative laboratory indices between the non-infection and iinfected groups. Panels show white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count (PLT), serum albumin (ALB) and procalcitonin (PCT). Each dot represents an individual patient value, and the horizontal line indicates the group mean. P values above the panels correspond to independent-samples t tests comparing the two groups (ns, not significant; P<0.001). ALB was significantly lower in the iinfected group (P<0.001), whereas WBC, PLT and PCT did not differ significantly between the two groups (P>0.05).
