Adjusted for age, ASA, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, CAD, PAD, COPD, CKD, OAC, ICU, chronic heart failure, bleeding events, BPT, anastomotic leaks, pneumonia, thromboembolic events, liver failure, acute renal failure, URL, VD, and Group emergency. Each of the 21 risk factors were associated with significant risk for in-hospital mortality in univariate analysis.
