| No. of patients with a Complication | 9 (23.7%) | 24 (63.2%) | RR = 0.40 (0.22-0.73) |
P = 0.0005* |
| Mortality | 2 (5.2%) | 5 (13.1%) | P = 0.4 | |
| Length of stay (days) | 3-(2-7) | 4(2-22) | P = 0.2 |
Values expressed as medians (interquartile range) for continuous and number (percentage) for dichotomous variables. Relative risk is expressed as the RR (95%confidence interval) * are significant values.
