Abstract
Aim
To identify predictive risk factors associated with anastomotic leakage (AL) following colon resection surgery.
Method
Observational and retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing colon resection with colonic/colorectal anastomosis from January 2018 to December 2023. Demographic, patient, surgery, and outcome data were analysed. Risk factors were identified with both univariate and multivariate analysis.
Results
A total of 639 patients who underwent colon resection with anastomosis were included in this study. Among them, 62 patients (9.7 %) developed AL. Univariate analysis identified age, male sex, preoperative serum ferritin levels >51.75 ng/mL, minimally invasive surgical approach, extended resection and preoperative C-reactive protein levels >10 mg/L as factors associated with AL. Multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative serum ferritin (OR 5.55, p = 0.001) and preoperative C-reactive protein levels (OR 54.97, p < 0.001) were independent and significant predictors of AL.
Conclusion
Our study has identified preoperative C-reactive protein as a predictor of AL, consistent with findings reported in the literature, and highlights preoperative serum ferritin as a novel predictor of AL following colonic anastomosis.
