Figure 1 Mean ± standard deviation of course of PMI for 3 days before (−3) to 5 days after (+5) beginning IVIgG therapy in 44 postoperative patients. IVIgG therapy was begun on day zero (0). IVIgG was associated with a consistent reversal of worsening of postoperative morbidity and a highly significant treatment effect, using each patient as his/her own control (P < .0001). See text for details. PMI, Postoperative morbidity index; SD, standard deviation; IVIG, intravenous immunoglobulin.
