Postoperative enterocolitis assessment using two different cut-off values in the HAEC score in Hirschsprung patients undergoing Duhamel and Soave pull-through

Table 4 Association between patients’ characteristics and HAEC (cut-off ≥ 4) after Duhamel and Soave surgeries

	Sex		p-value	OR (95% CI)	Aganglionosis type		p-value	OR (95% CI)
	Male	Female	p-value	OR (95% CI)	Short-segment	Long-segment	p-value	OR (95% CI)
Duhamel HAEC (n, %)	13/16 (81)	3/16 (19)	0.28	2.3 (0.5–10.6)	13/16 (81)	3/16 (19)	0.63	0.7 (0.1–3.7)
Soave HAEC (n, %)	20/22 (91)	2/22 (9)	0.23	2.9 (0.5–17.1)	17/22 (77)	5/22 (23)	0.73	1.3 (0.3–5.0)

*, p-values were calculated using Fisher Exact or Chi-square tests; CI, confidence interval; HAEC, Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis; OR, odds ratio
