Model 1 contains main effects for prostate weight, prior cholecystectomy, ASA class, and BMI category. Model 2 contains main effects for prostate weight and prior cholecystectomy.
Odds ratios for prostate weight are for a five gram increase. OR = odds ratio; 95% CI = Wald 95% CI from logistic regression.
