Due to the (very- high-risk nature of this study population, comparison of outcome with other results in the literature has to be done carefully, taking into account all very- high-risk
First, we performed univariate comparisons for outcome with Fisher exact tests for categorical variables, and t-tests for continuous variables, as needed.
A comparison of outcomes with triceps-off and triceps-on approaches was investigated.
