We found that, overall, the amount of MDZ administered was increased in DS versus controls after ending muscle relaxants and observed the reduced sedative effect of MDZ for DS patients while DEX was not different as estimated by Bayesian inference modeling. To adjust these biases, we used multivariate www.nature.com/scientificreports www.nature.com/scientificreports/ analysis with respect to these factors but we also "double checked" our results by using the demographic data propensity score for DS patients as a covariate in Bayesian inference modeling. To conclude, we conducted a retrospective study based on validated evaluative tools that indicated a need for higher doses of MDZ with higher doses of compensating sedatives for the 5-day period immediately after muscle relaxant usage following pediatric heart surgery. ./cache/cord-004310-hl7fa4af.txt ./txt/cord-004310-hl7fa4af.txt
