Fig. 2

Changes in body weight increments (a) and the cumulative fluid balances (b) after open esophagectomy in patients, with and without infectious complications. Insensible perspirations were not taken into account for the CFB calculations. The mean values and the 95% confidential intervals are presented to show the trends within the same groups. BW, body weight; CFB, cumulative fluid balance. *p < 0.05, †p = 0.01 by Mann-Whitney U test
