147 Surgery: skeletal muscle mass and oral cavity cancer PERIOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS The perioperative complications are listed in Table 3.The univariate logistic regression analysis with potential risk factors for perioperative complications yielded four variables with p values less than 0.25: ACE-27 [score 1 (OR = 1.645) and score 3 (OR = 3.740)], ASA [score 3+ (OR = 2.104)], operating time (OR = 1.356) and decrease in hemoglobin level (OR = 2.037) (Table 4). These four variables, and sarcopenia, were entered in the multivariate analysis for perioperative complications. Table 3.
