Skin Closure in Laparoscopic Living Donor Nephrectomy: Modern Tissue Adhesive versus Conventional Intracutaneous Suture—A Randomized Study

Table 4

Risk factor analysis for the pooled population (𝑛=64; both groups). Only parameters with significant results (rubor/overall wound score/hospitalization) have been included.

Risk factor; 𝑃 value	Age > 50 years	Gender F : M	BMI > 26	Total operative time > 120 min
Rubor; Day 2	0.77	0.01*	0.03*	0.17
Rubor; Day 4	0.31	0.17	0.01*	0.06
Rubor; At departure	0.02*	0.09	0.05	0.18
Total wound score; Day 2(mean)	0.46	0.13	0.02*	0.03*
Total wound score; Day 4(mean)	0.98	0.72	0.86	0.005*
Overall wound score; Mean for all wound  characteristics and time  points	0.78	0.92	0.42	0.0009*
Hospitalization	0.03*	0.0002*	0.63	0.65

Comparisons between the dichotomous risk categories have been made by Student (two-sided) 𝑡-test, and the 𝑃 values/significance indications (^∗𝑃<0.05) refer to unfavorable results. More rubor and longer stay in hospital were experienced with females.
