Left Column: Calculated difference between postoperative measurements and baseline measurements for plasma IL-5 and IL-8, plotted separately for patients with and without postoperative delirium and POCD. There was a significant difference in the sub-analyses at baseline vs. 18 h for IL-5 in the subjects with postoperative delirium or POCD and baseline vs. 6 and 18 h for IL-8 (see Table 2) in both groups. Right Column: The measured concentrations for both cytokines, as well plotted separately, for patients with and without POCD/delirium
