OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; ASA: American Society of Anesthesiologists; COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; CRP: C-reactive protein; NSAID: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Multivariate logistic regression analysis included white blood cells, hemoglobin, CRP/albumin ratio, 6% hydroxyethyl starch amount, red blood cell transfusion, and urinary diversion type from the univariate logistic regression analysis.
