Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range). Pack-year was calculated by multiplying the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day with the number of years the person has smoked. BMI: body mass index; G0: nonsmokers; G1: smokers with ≤1 month of cessation preoperatively; G2: smokers with >1 month of cessation preoperatively.
