  1. All values are medians and interquartile ranges. *p-value represents proven compared to no intestinal ischemia. #p = 0.002 for ischemia likely vs unlikely. $p-value represents proven and likely together compared to unlikely and no ischemia together. &p-value represents proven compared to no ischemia.
