Figure 4

Decrease in hemoglobin concentration (Hb) measured as: Hb [gâ‹…dL−1] preoperatively–Hb [gâ‹…dL−1] at 48 hours following skin closure + RBCU during 48 hours; where RBCU during 48 hours is the number of red blood cell units (RBCU) transfused after open prostatectomy until 48 h after skin closure. Box-plots of quartiles (boxes), median (line within box), minimum, and maximum (error bars). Decrease in Hb was significantly higher in the parecoxib group vs. placebo at 24 hours.
