Table 2 Segmented regression analysis of the association between right gastroepiploic artery length and risk of anastomotic leakage
| Outcome | Estimated (95%CI) | P value |
| Model I: Linear effect | 0.5 (0.4, 0.6) | < 0.001 |
| Model II: Threshold (K) | 27.80 cm | - |
| Segmental effect 1 (< K) | 0.4 (0.3, 0.5) | < 0.001 |
| Segmental effect 2 (> K) | 0.9 (0.7, 1.2) | 0.638 |
| Difference between 2 and 1 | 2.7 (1.7, 4.2) | < 0.001 |
| Predicted log relative risk at the cutoff point | -4.0 (-4.7 to -3.2) | - |
| Likelihood ratio test | - | < 0.001 |
