Adjusted estimates of geometric mean duration of hospitalization in days versus integrated area above the core temperature versus time curve and below a threshold of 37°C, for 39,180 hospital in-patients who were admitted on the day of surgery and who had intraoperative esophageal temperature monitoring. Shaded regions represent pointwise, Bonferroni-adjusted (for simultaneous analysis on two outcomes) 95% confidence intervals. *Adjusted for year, type, and duration of surgery, body mass index, age, preoperative platelet count, preoperative hemoglobin, estimated blood loss, and individual anesthesiologist, as well as the Elixhauser comorbidities16 (see table 2 for a listing of these comorbidities). LOS = length of stay.
