Fig 5 Knaus-Wagner chi-pie analysis was performed to determine the relative contributions of each predictive factor to the overall prolonged length of stay (LOS). Complications accounted for the largest proportion of prolonged LOS, with system and patient characteristics accounting for less of the prolonged LOS. CEA, Carotid endarterectomy; CHF, congestive heart failure; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; IV, intravenous; MAE, major adverse event.
