Three patients were excluded because of a missing value for some variables. Logistic regression model constructed with the development subsample, c-index = 0.90; Hosmer-Lemeshow chi-square test = 7.862; P = 0.447
CI confidence interval, Hb hemoglobin, OR odds ratio, PPC postoperative pulmonary complications, RTI respiratory tract infection, SpO2 oxyhemoglobin saturation by pulse oximetry (breathing room air in the supine position)
^aSimplified risk score was the sum of each logistic regression coefficient (β) multiplied by 10, after rounding off
