1 Elevated Procalcitonin in Patients After Cardiac Surgery: A Hint to Nonocclusive Mesenteric Ischemia 
Matthias Klingele, MD, Hagen Bomberg, MD, Aaron Poppleton, MBChB, Peter Minko, MD, Thimo Speer, MD, PhD, Hans-Joachim Schäfers, MD, Heinrich V. Groesdonk, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 99, Issue 4, Pages (April 2015) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2015 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 (A) Postoperative procalcitonin (PCT) levels and (B) receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the prognostic accuracy of PCT. Comparison of postoperative serum PCT levels in patients with NOMI versus a non-NOMI group. Samples were taken in the afternoon the day before and during the morning after surgery. Short dash = mean values of PCT. Solid dash = median values of PCT. Probability values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
