Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most diagnosed cancer worldwide. Preoperative anaemia is common in CRC patients undergoing surgery.
Objective: This study assesses the prevalence of preoperative anaemia and its impact on postoperative outcomes, and aims to establish a cut-off point for increased morbidity and mortality in a large prospective single centre cohort.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 1105 CRC patients (2014-2021). Anaemia was defined as per WHO criteria. Multivariate logistic regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used. The statistical significance level was set at <0.05.
Results: Preoperative anaemia was present in 45.3% of patients, and was associated with a higher incidence of perioperative complications (OR 2.76, p = 0.011) and lower 5-year survival (73% vs 87%, p < 0.001.
Discussion/conclusions: Preoperative anaemia, even when mild, is associated with a higher rate of complications, longer hospital stay, and a greater risk of 5-year mortality.
