However, complex cataract classification showed a trend toward increased general anesthesia use (aOR=2.21; 95% CI, 0.93–4.93; p=0.059).

Patients in the high-risk group demonstrated 2.3-fold higher cancellation rates compared to low-risk patients, although differences across groups did not reach statistical significance in unadjusted analysis (p = 0.06).

approached significancep=0.086so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

Although the association with complications approached significance, a model without HCS achieved nearly identical discrimination (AUC 0.705 vs. 0.712; likelihood ratio test p=0.086), indicating that HCS provided negligible incremental predictive value beyond procedure-specific risk factors.
