| ASA (3 vs. 2) | 2.82 (0.84–9.541) | 0.095 |
| BMI | 1.00 (0.97–1.03) | 0.9 |
| History of asthma | 4.12 (1.99–8.53) | 0.0001 |
| Estimated blood loss, L | 1.75 (1.11–2.76) | 0.015 |
| RBCs per 100 mL | 1.19 (1.09–1.30) | 0.0001 |
| Total fluid, per L increase | 1.19 (0.92–1.23) | 0.4 |
| Preoperative chemoradiation | 0.36 (0.24–0.55) | <0.0001 |
| Surgical duration, per h | 1.02 (0.88–1.19) | 0.8 |
