Statistically significant at . Change of ALB: serum ALB level within 24 h after surgery minus pre-operation. Change of WBC level: serum WBC level within 24 h after surgery minus pre-operation. Change of neutropils: serum neutropils level within 24 h after surgery minus pre-operation. Change of CRE: serum CRE level within 24 h after surgery minus pre-operation. Change of glucose: blood glucose level within 24 h after surgery minus pre-operation. Factors were entered into multivariate regression using the forward stepwise (conditional) approach ().
