2. Figure 1
Postoperative pulmonary dysfunction rates in matched patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass surgery grouped by contributing types of complications (A) and the number of units they received (B) (1, 2, or >2 units) reflect an excess of pulmonary complications in equivalent recipients of male relative to female donor plasma. Major complications (30-day mortality or hospitalization >10 days) are also more common in equivalent recipients of male relative to female donor plasma (C).

Kaplan–Meier estimates of survival in recipients of female compared with male donor plasma, log-rank test P = .09. Hazard ratio for female donor plasma, as estimated by the Cox proportional hazards model, adjusted for Hannan score, gender, weight, ethnicity (Caucasian vs non-Caucasian), previous stroke, and preoperative heparin therapy is 0.90; 95% confidence interval, 0.67–1.20; P = .47.
