*Listwise deletion of variables with missing data reduced the total sample size, although not enough to decrement the power of the study.

†Any bowel prep = antibiotic only, mechanical only, and both.

aOR indicates adjusted odds ratio; BMI, body mass index; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; CI, confidence interval; NSQIP, National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.
