Why the study?
Are older age and sepsis associated with higher mortality following colon cancer surgery?
Are older age and sepsis associated with higher mortality following colon cancer surgery?
Older age and sepsis are associated with increased 1-year mortality, including cardiovascular mortality, after colon cancer surgery, highlighting the need for cardiovascular optimization.
May warrant enhanced cardiovascular surveillance in older septic patients after colon cancer surgery; leaves open whether interventions improve survival.
Older age and sepsis are associated with higher 1-year overall, cancer-specific, and cardiovascular-specific mortality, highlighting the importance of geriatric assessment, multidisciplinary care, and cardiovascular optimisation for older patients and those with infectious complications.
