Comparison of the effects of sugammadex and neostigmine on hospital stay in robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy: a retrospective study

Table 3 Effect of sugammadex on length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit, post-operative hospital stay and unplanned readmission, as compared to neostigmine, in patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, based on a propensity score-matched cohort

	Length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit (min)			Hospital LOS after surgery (days)			Unplanned readmission within 30 days
Variable	Mean (SD)	Odds ratio [95% CI]	P value^a	Mean (SD)	Odds ratio [95% CI]	P value^b	N (%)	Odds ratio (95% CI)	P value^c
Sugammadex vs. Neostigmine	36.7 (8.4) vs. 40.2 (13.0)	0.92 [0.90, 0.94]	< 0.001	7.7 (2.5) vs. 8.2 (2.0)	0.94 [0.89, 0.98]	0.008	9 (2.0%) vs. 5 (1.1%)	1.82 [0.60,5.46]	0.288

^a,bLength of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit, hospital length of stay after surgery: a generalized linear model assuming Poisson distribution and a log link function were used. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant
^c30-Day unplanned readmission: logistic regression analysis was used. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant
