  1. Median (25–75 percentile). Different superscripted small letters (a-c) in each row indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) and the same superscripted letters indicate no statistical difference. Also, a → c signifies highest to lowest value
  2. *There was no significant difference between MODS and one complication group in catalase activity
