Table 4 Multivariate logistic regression analysis of risk factors for anastomotic complications after laparoscopic total gastrectomy (n = 160)

Variable	β	SE	OR (95%CI)	P value
IEE (yes vs no)	-2.12	0.62	0.12 (0.04-0.41)	0.001
Tumor stage (III vs I/II)	0.61	0.32	1.84 (0.98-3.45)	0.058
COPD (yes vs no)	0.49	0.41	1.63 (0.73-3.64)	0.233
Hypertension (yes vs no)	0.25	0.38	1.28 (0.61-2.71)	0.512
Diabetes (yes vs no)	0.37	0.39	1.45 (0.68-3.10)	0.341
Operative time (extend per 30 minutes)	0.18	0.10	1.20 (0.98-1.46)	0.072

IEE: Intraoperative endoscopic examination; COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; β: Regression coefficient; SE: Standard error; OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval.
