p-value<0.05.

Infectious complications include severe sepsis and mechanical wound complications and/or surgical infections.

Other complications include neurological complications, delirium, gastrointestinal complications and venous thromboembolism. Area under the receiving operating characteristics curves are 0.92 (95% confidence interval 0.91-0.93), and 0.85 (95% confidence interval 0.82- 0.87) for hospital and ninety-day mortality, respectively.
