Table 3. Comparison of ICG fluorescence outcomes between obese and non-obese patients.
| Characteristics | Obese* (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) | Non-obese (BMI <25 kg/m2) | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| No. of patients | 10 | 10 | - |
| PPV | 6/10 (60.0) | 10/10 (100.0) | 0.087 |
| Interval time† (sec) | 23.2 (18–28) | 21.2 (14–30) | 0.315 |
| Arterial phase† (sec) | 18.3 (10–30) | 14.0 (9–20) | 0.190 |
| Total procedural time† (sec) | 40.9 (30–57) | 36.2 (24–47) | 0.353 |
Values are presented as number of patients (%) or mean (range).
ICG = indocyanine green; BMI = body mass index; PPV = positive predictive value; WHO = World Health Organization.
*The WHO definition of obesity in the Asia-Pacific region; †Mann-Whitney U test was applied.
