Non-univocal conclusions have been published regarding the definition of oxygen desaturation in relation to postoperative outcome. We aimed to verify whether oxygen desaturation during a maximal stair-climbing test was associated with postoperative cardiopulmonary complications and to assess which definition of oxygen desaturation (oxygen saturation <90% or desaturation >4% with respect to rest level) discriminated better between complicated and uncomplicated patients.
