The predictive value of the vasoactive inotropic score in the postoperative treatment of patients suffering from infective endocarditis

Figures

• 

  Fig. 1. Vasoactive inotropic score. Vasoactive inotropic score was calculated postoperative (= admission on ICU), 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h after surgery. Data are presented as medians (25–75th quartiles) or as absolute numbers (percentages). Marked p-values are two-sided significant at least at the 0.05 level.

• 

  Fig. 2. Freedom from vasopressors. Survivors and Non-survivors compared in terms of freedom from vasopressors postoperative (= admission on ICU), 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h after surgery. Data are presented as medians (25–75th quartiles) or as absolute numbers (percentages). Marked p-values are two-sided significant at least at the 0.05 level.

• 

  Fig. 3. Central venous saturation. Central venous saturation (ScvO2) was measured postoperative (= admission on ICU), 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h after surgery. Data are presented as medians or as absolute numbers (percentages). Marked p-values are two-sided significant at least at the 0.05 level.

• 

  Fig. 4. Cardiac Index. Cardiac index was calculated postoperative (= admission on ICU), 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h after surgery. Data are presented as medians or as absolute numbers (percentages). Marked p-values are two-sided significant at least at the 0.05 level.

• 

  Fig. 5. Serum lactate. Serum lactate levels were measured postoperative (= admission on ICU), 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h after surgery. Data are presented as medians or as absolute numbers (percentages). Marked p-values are two-sided significant at least at the 0.05 level.

  Fig. 6. (A) ROC sensitivity analysis. Receiver operating characteristic analysis. AUC: Area under the curve; CI: Confidence interval; VIS: Vasoactive inotropic score. (B) ROC analysis. Receiver operating characteristic analysis. AUC: Area under the curve; CI: Confidence interval; ScvO2: Central venous saturation; VIS: Vasoactive inotropic score; Marked p-values are two-sided significant at least at the 0.05 level.

  Fig. 7. Prediction of mortality. Multivariate analysis: CI: Confidence interval; CKD: Chronic kidney disease; IDDM: Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus; VIS: Vasoactive inotropic score; ScvO2: Central venous saturation; Marked p-values are two-sided significant at least at the 0.05 level.
