*

Full model includes route of hysterectomy, age, race, BMI, ASA class, functional status, albumin, year of surgery, frailty index, and presence of preoperative conditions (diabetes mellitus, tobacco use, COPD, CHF, hypertension, bleeding disorders, disseminated cancer, weight loss, preoperative transfusion, and steroid use).

**

Combined functional indices includes age, functional status, ASA class, and frailty index
