  1. Parameters are indicated as median (with interquartile range) (separately described for the group of patients without POD (Non-POD) and the group of patients with POD (POD)); patients matched for transplant type, transplant location and tracheotomy; maximum and minimum values are absolute values, upward deviation values = maximum value minus reference value (negative values are set to 0), downward deviation values = reference value minus minimum value (negative values are set to 0); p-values corresponding to testing for differences between the groups of patients without POD (Non-POD) and patients with POD (POD) with Wilcoxon signed rank test; significant p-values are bold
