Statistical analysis of patients’ demographic and clinical characteristic
features
T2D, organ damage, bleeding
BLEEDING, TYPE 2 DIABETES, OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME
BMI = body mass index; OSAS = obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; T2D =
type 2 diabetes; categorical variables are expressed as n (%) and
continuous variables as median (IQR); T0 = non-waiting group; T1 =
waiting group.Student's t-test (mean, standard deviation);Chi-square test;Mann–Whitney test; P < 0.05, considered statistically
significant;.Patients with organ damage or bleeding unrelated to the stapling procedure performed
during surgery were excluded. The number of bleeding points on the stapling line was
assessed by reducing the intra-abdominal pressure to 8 mm Hg for 5 min. The waiting
group (T1) showed significantly fewer stapling line bleeding points requiring
intervention than the other group (81 versus 134, P < 0.05), resulting in a 28%
better performance without additional measures. Metallic clips were used for
hemostasis in all cases, and bleeding points were observed as staple firings in both
groups (
