Model 1 is a nonadjusted analysis for each variable, Model 2 includes baseline characteristics before surgery (i.e., age, sex, income, residence, comorbid conditions, and antiplatelet/anticoagulant drug use) and surgery type, and Model 3 additionally included postoperative drug use, including analgesic use and gastrointestinal medication. * Nondrug users and without comorbidities are references.
