*

Regression model for each outcome includes all factors significant in univariate analysis, and otherwise shown as —.

Continuous factor age is centered at the overall mean (66 y).

Statistically significant.

§

Continuous factor surgical duration is centered at the overall mean (387 min).

Additional test is a linear contrast of model parameters.

ITM, intrathecal morphine; LOS, length of stay; MEQ, morphine equivalents; POD, postoperative day; TAP, transversus abdominus plane block.
