Table 3:

Relationship between surgical complexity, triage risk classification, and outcomes

30-day outcomes	All women (N=1,777)	High risk Subgroup (N=501)	Triage appropriate subgroup (N=1,276)	p value†
Low surgical complexity subgroup (N=1,240)
Severe 30-day complication	31/1240 (2.5%)	12/347 (3.5%)	19/893 (2.1%)	0.18
30-day mortality	9/1240 (0.7%)	4/347 (1.2%)	5/893 (0.6%)	0.28
Severe 30-day complication or death	37/1240 (3.0%)	14/347 (4.0%)	23/893 (2.6%)	0.18
Intermediate/high surgical complexity subgroup (N=537)
Severe 30-day complication	36/537 (6.7%)	15/154 (9.7%)	21/383 (5.5%)	0.07
30-day mortality	5/537 (0.9%)	3/154 (2.0%)	2/383 (0.5%)	0.15
Severe 30-day complication or death	39/537 (7.3%)	17/154 (11.0%)	22/383 (5.7%)	0.03

^†Comparisons between the two groups were evaluated based on the two-sided Fisher’s exact test for 30-day mortality and the two-sided chi-square test for all other variables.
