Multivariable analysis of factors associated with total complications of laparoscopic hysterectomy for large uteri
| Factor | Univariate analysis | Multivariable analysis | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Complication (n = 51) | No complication (n = 341) | P value | OR (95% CI) | P value | |
| Age (years) | 47.5 (39–68) | 48 (32–75) | 0.94 | 0.80 (0.42–1.63) | 0.50 |
| Uterine weight (g) | 1329 ± 509 | 1196 ± 477 | 0.03 | 1.64 (0.81–3.31) | 0.17 |
| Type 2–3 large uterus | 27 (52.9%) | 114 (32.9%) | 0.007 | 2.00 (1.09–3.68) | 0.02 |
| Previous abdominal surgery | 3 (5.8%) | 41 (12%) | 0.24 | 0.48 (0.14–1.49) | 0.24 |
Age and uterus weight were introduced in the multivariable model as binary variables, the optimal cut‐off value to convert variables in binary type was calculated using receiver operating characteristics curves.
