Retrospective analysis identifies infection predictors in colorectal cancer patients, indicating significant clinical parameters.
Key Points
Patients with cT3-4 tumors have a higher risk of postoperative infectious complications, highlighting tumor stage as a key predictor.
The univariate logistic regression identified systemic immune-inflammation index as a significant predictor, given odds ratio of 1.0003 with a p-value of 0.01.
Inference drawn from 381 patients, with 43 developing complications, emphasizes the importance of monitoring preoperative inflammatory markers.
The developed model demonstrates 71.8% sensitivity and 63.5% specificity in predicting early postoperative infectious complications.
