Age and Unplanned Postoperative Visits Predict Outcome after Septoplasty: A National Swedish Register Study

Table 3

Multivariate logistic regression of predictors in relation to outcome after septoplasty presented as odds ratios including age (+10 years), unplanned visit within two weeks of surgery (yes or no), surgical technique (septoplasty versus septoplasty + turbinoplasty), gender, and size of hospital (university versus county, district, and other) with 95% confidence intervals.
