Fig 2 Recursive partitioning/CART analysis of factors predicting severe PONV. BIS monitoring and N2O were entered into CART first, because a significant interaction between them was identified. CART splits the variable ‘duration of anaesthesia’ at 3.32 h. Odds ratios (OR) (95% CIs and P-values) are reported from analysis that were adjusted for age <55 yr and abdominal surgery (factors that CART did not include in the model). The subgroup of patients with the lowest risk of PONV (BIS-monitored and N2O-free) served as the reference group.
