Table 3.
Comparison of peri-operative parameters
| Parameter | Complications group | Control group | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Op time (mn) | 491 | 421 | ns |
| EBL (L) | 2.4 | 1.6 | 0.004 |
| ICU stay (days) | 3.4 | 2.8 | ns |
| Hospital stay (days) | 14.4 | 7.9 | 0.001 |
Estimated blood loss (EBL) is significantly different between complications and control groups; however, this result is confounded by the inclusion of excessive EBL as a major complication
