The factors associated with an increased risk of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) were gender (female odds ratio 3), patients with previous history of nausea and vomiting or motion sickness (odds ratio 4), laparoscopic cholecystectomy (odds ratio 3.5) and eye surgery (odds ratio 3.9), all of these were statistically significant (p<0.05).
