Table 2.

Incidence and Severity of Hypothermia

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).
