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
