Univariate analysis identified preoperative obstruction, preoperative perforation, Class IV surgical incisions, open surgical approach, intraoperative blood loss, duration of mechanical ventilation, perioperative sepsis, perioperative acute kidney injury (AKI), lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and mean postoperative platelet count, albumin, and blood urea nitrogen levels within the first 24 hours of ICU admission as risk factors for prolonged ICU stay. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and acute kidney injury.
