| Time after surgery | Group P2.5 (n=43) |
Group P7.5 (n=43) |
Group P+D (n=43) |
P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–24 h | 21 (49) | 29 (67) | 36 (84)* | 0.0028 |
| 24–72 h | 34 (79) | 43 (100)** | 42 (98)* | 0.0006 |
| 0–4 h | 21 (49) | 31 (72) | 37 (86)* | 0.001 |

Notes: Group P2.5: 2.5 μg/kg palonosetron; Group P7.5: 7.5 μg/kg palonosetron; and Group P+D: 2.5 μg/kg palonosetron and 15 μg/kg droperidol. Data are presented as n (%) of patients. Partition of chi-square test with Bonferroni correction was used for post hoc pairwise comparisons.
