  Abdominal wound 1.112 (1.030–1.199) <0.001
Abdominal fat necrosis 1.069 (0.928–1.213) <0.001
Medical complication 1.150 (1.008–1.300) <0.001
  Pulmonary embolism 1.143 (0.8993–1.3941) <0.001
Blood transfusion 1.149 (1.007–1.297) <0.001

After risk-adjustment with demographic, intraoperative, and perforator covariates, the risk of morbidity, donor-site complication, medical complication, blood transfusion, fat necrosis, wound, UR, and eLOS significantly increase per hour of operation. Multivariate logistic regressions controlling for demographics, comorbidities, and surgical factors were conducted.
