Each 1\u2010cm increase in skin\u2010to\u2010tumor distance reduced the odds of complication by approximately 80% (OR\u2009=\u20090.21, 95%\u2010CI: 0.07\u20130.61,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.004), while each 1\u2010cm increase in average thigh adiposity nearly doubled the risk (OR\u2009=\u20091.92, 95%\u2010CI: 1.08\u20133.41,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.025).
