Key result
Preoperative hyponatremia was an independent predictor of overall complications after colorectal cancer surgery (OR 1.856; 95% CI 1.148-3.001; P=0.012).

Preoperative hyponatremia is associated with an increased risk of short-term complications following colorectal cancer surgery.
Liu et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery (n=6,730). Preoperative hyponatremia vs. Normal sodium was evaluated on Overall complications (OR 1.856, 95% CI 1.148-3.001, p=0.012). Preoperative hyponatremia was an independent predictor of overall complications after colorectal cancer surgery (OR 1.856; 95% CI 1.148-3.001; P=0.012).
