Correlation between (A) the McGoon ratio or (B) the Nakata index and the early follow-up variables. Spearman correlation shows no significant dependence between the McGoon ratio or Nakata index and the early follow-up variables of time on mechanical ventilation (black circles) (r = 0.003, p = 0.97; or r = –0.03, p = 0.72), intensive care unit (ICU) stay (clear circles) (r = –0.04, p = 0.64; or r = –0.05, p = 0.54), hospital stay (black triangle) (r = –0.098, p = 0.24; or r = –0.10, p = 0.21), and duration of effusions (clear triangle) (r = –0.04, p = 0.65; or r = –0.12, p = 0.14).

3. Fig 2
An evaluation of the early follow-up variables with respect to (A) age and (B) weight shows that younger and smaller patients do not show a significantly prolonged early follow-up compared with their older and bigger companions. The horizontal line in the middle of each box indicates the median; the top and bottom borders of the box mark the 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively; the whiskers mark the 90th and 10th percentiles; and the black circles indicate outliers. (ICU = intensive care unit.)
