Inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia (core temperature 2 h) (OR = 2.60, 95% CI 2.09-3.24).The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia in China is high, and the rate of active warming of patients during operation is low. Hypothermia is associated with more postoperative shivering, increased ICU admissions, and longer postoperative hospital days.
