Figure 3: Correlations of mean adrenaline levels at 5 sample times with age, sex, 17 and Karnofsy Performance Scale before surgery, and neurological status after Surgery Correlations between mean plasma levels of adrenaline at 5 sample times and age, sex, Karnofsy Performance Scale (KPS) before surgery and neurological status after surgery were analyzed. No significant correlations were seen in all these studies. Panel 2: F, female; M, male. Panel 3: A, patients with KPS score ≧80 before surgery; B, patients with KPS score < 80 before surgery. Panel 4: I, patients with improvement of neurological status after surgery; D, patients with deterioration of neurological status after surgery; S, patients with same neurological status after surgery.
