Q quartiles of white blood cell count on admission, TAR total arch replacement. Q1: < 8.79 × 10⁹/L; Q2: 8.80–11.49 × 10⁹/L; Q3: 11.5–14.49 × 10⁹/L; and Q4: > 14.50 × 10⁹/L
Note: P-value< 0.05 is highlighted in bold type.* The post hoc tests are processed with P value< 0.013 as statistical significance, adjusted by the Bonferroni correction
