  2. Since the ASA data of patients without incidents were available only after 2013 due to technological issues (the electronic anesthesia record system in PUMC Hospital was established in 2013, so the ASA status of patients without reported incidents could only be collected after 2013), only data from 2013 to 2019 were used for the analysis related to ASA status
