Table 2.

Modelled effect sizes from restricted cubic splines (RCS) analyses, depicting adjusted association between BMI and perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic liver resection. Reference BMI is set as 25kg/m2 and treatment effects were adjusted using covariance adjustment for baseline covariates
