Fatigue persists 1 month after open colorectal surgery; leaves open complications and lean mass loss as predictors.
Observational (n=385)
What are the predictors of postoperative fatigue 1 month after open colorectal surgery?
Absolute Event Rate: 30% vs 17%
Open colorectal surgery is associated with significant postoperative fatigue and decline in physical performance and body composition, with major complications and loss of lean body mass predicting long-term fatigue.
Jensen et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Open colorectal surgery (n=385). Open colorectal surgery vs. Preoperative baseline was evaluated on High fatigue score (≥ 5.5) at 1 month postoperatively. Open colorectal surgery was associated with an increase in high fatigue scores from 17% preoperatively to 65% at discharge and 30% at 1 month postoperatively.
