Multivariate analysis of predictors for sternal wound infection in the cohorts undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures in (A) model 1 and (B) model 2, undergoing single-valve procedures in (C) model 1 and (D) model 2, and undergoing CABG and single-valve procedures in (E) model 1 and (F) model 2. The dashed vertical line indicates no effect. The solid circles represent the odds ratio and the solid horizontal lines represent the 95% confidence interval (red lines show significant factors for infection; black lines show nonsignificant factors for infection). (COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; bil ITA = bilateral internal thoracic artery; EuroSCORE = European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation.)
