Key result
Age was identified as the only statistically significant independent risk factor for postoperative complications following colorectal cancer surgery (OR 0.971).
Why the study?
Postoperative complications impact outcomes and quality of life after colorectal cancer surgery, making the identification of risk factors essential for improving surgical outcomes and patient safety.
Population
277 patients who underwent CRC surgery at a single hospital
Comparison
Risk factors for postoperative complications
Design
Retrospective single-center study

Older age independently predicts post-CRC surgery complications; leaves open whether age-stratified perioperative care reduces morbidity.

In patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery, older age is a significant independent risk factor for postoperative complications, which occurred in 22.7% of cases.
Paužas et al. (2025) conducted a cohort in Colorectal cancer (n=277). Age was evaluated on Postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo Grade 1 or higher) (OR 0.971, 95% CI 0.948-0.994, p=0.016). Age was identified as the only statistically significant independent risk factor for postoperative complications following colorectal cancer surgery (OR 0.971).
