Text: Using multiple comparisons (analysis of variance) with change scores, and statistically adjusting for group differences in aortic cross-clamp time, use of intraoperative aprotinin, and preoperative use of statin, we found that the change in creatinine clearance from preoperative to postoperative day 3 was statistically less for group 1 (-1. 47 mL/min + / - 2. 06 SE, p =. 0286) and for group 2 (-0. 67 mL/min + / - 2. 11 SE, p =. 0198) and less but not quite significant for group 3 (-3. 08 mL/min + / - 1. 95 SE, p =. 0891) compared with controls (-8. 15 mL/min + / - 2. 18 SE).
