Note. Items in boldface indicate significant differences (P < .05).
Pulmonary complications: pneumonia, reintubation, ventilator dependency >48 h, pulmonary embolism. Cardiac complications: myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest. Wound complications: superficial wound infection, deep wound infection, wound dehiscence, organ space infection. Urinary complications: renal insufficiency, renal failure, and urinary tract infection. Septic complications included sepsis and septic shock.
NA = not applicable.
Percentages have been rounded and may not add to 100.
Includes Pacific Islander.
Refers to number of patients having at least 1 complication. Thus if a patient had 2 complications, for example, the patient is only counted once in this total.
