Table 2 Influence of perioperative risk factors on prolongation of intensive care unit length of stay over 3 days. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Table 3 The influence of the change of procedure complexity assessed by RACHS on the chance of standard intensive care unit length of stay (up to 3 days) and on the probability of longer (over 3 days) ICU stays. The results of logistic regression. As the procedure complexity increases the chances of standard ICULOS decrease and the probability of longer ICULOS increase.
