^*Twenty-nine patients had missing complications data.

^†Adjustment by weighted propensity score.

^‡P values generated by two-sided Fisher exact tests for unadjusted and weighted two-sided χ² tests for adjusted analyses.

^§Pulmonary complications include aspiration, bronchopleural fistula, new home oxygen requirement, pneumonia, and respiratory failure requiring intubation.

^‖Cardiovascular complications include angina, congestive heart failure, stroke, cardiac arrest, deep vein thrombosis, indwelling venous catheter clot, myocardial infarction, and pulmonary embolus.
