a

Also adjusted for case-mix of procedures; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval; OR = odds ratio

b

ASA = American Society of Anesthesiologists; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; AKI = acute kidney injury; HTN = hypertension

c

Subset analysis of 77% of procedures including data on resident assistance; abdominopelvic includes prostatectomy, nephrectomy, and cystectomy; scrotal and urogynecologic surgeries had too small of a sample size and low rate of Clavien 4 or 5 complications to analyze.
