| ICU postoperative LOS, h | 20.52±14.36 (18.00, 16.00–20.00) | 24.09±10.26 (20.00, 17.00–29.50) | 20.92±14.77 (18.00, 15.25–20.00) | 0.41 |
| Post-ICU ward LOS, h | 62.29±39.19 (48.00, 48.00–72.00) | 57.00±36.14 (48.00, 48.00–48.00) | 62.77±39.61 (48.00, 48.00–72.00) | 0.69 |
Data are presented as mean±SD (median, IQR).
P values apply to the apnea vs no apnea comparison (likelihood ratio test).
d, day; h, hour; ICU, intensive care unit; IQR, interquartile range; LOS, length of stay; SD, standard deviation.
