Variable | Overall (n = 220) | Group GA (n = 34) | Group ISBPB (n = 186) | P value* |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hypothermia | 27 (12.3) | 10 (29.4) | 17 (9.1) | 0.002† |
Mild (35.5–35.9℃) | 25 | 8 | 17 | |
Moderate (35.0–35.4℃) | 2 | 2 | 0 | |
Profound (< 35.0℃) | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Values are presented as number of patients (%). GA: general anesthesia, ISBPB: interscalene brachial plexus block.
Logistic regression analysis adjusted with propensity score,
Statistical significance was found between perioperative hypothermia and anesthetic methods (GA vs. ISBPB; odd ratio: 0.172, 95% CI: 0.057, 0.517).
