INTRODUCTION: The treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) is usually surgical and involves morbidity-mortality. The aim of this study is to quantify the postoperative mortality in our hospital and to determine their risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective observational study from 1996 to 2007 included 1017 patients who underwent surgery for CRC in our hospital. Identification of independent risk factors for postoperative mortality by multivariate analysis. RESULTS: The mean age was 67.8 years. The surgery was elective in 879 (86.5%) and was considered curative in 878 (86.1%). The postoperative mortality was 3.6% (37 patients), 2.5% in the elective surgery and 10.9% in the urgent. The independent risk factors identified were: type of surgery (odds ratio for urgent vs. elective=2.8), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade (odds ratio for ASA III-IV vs. I-II=2.4), age (odds ratio for age > or = 85 vs. < or = 74=7.6 and age 75-84 vs. < or = 74=2.4). CONCLUSIONS: We found a low postoperative mortality, which was mainly associated with age over 75 years, ASA III or IV stages and urgent surgery. |
