Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atherosclerosis is associated with various comorbidities; nonetheless, its effect on the postoperative complications of colorectal surgery in older patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of atherosclerosis on the postoperative complications of colorectal surgery in older adults with CRC.
Methods
Patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent surgery for CRC between April 2017 and October 2020 were enrolled. To evaluate atherosclerosis, we prospectively calculated the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) measured by the blood pressure/pulse wave test and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) score from computed tomography. Risk factors for Clavien–Dindo grade ≥ III postoperative complications were evaluated by univariate and logistic regression analyses.
Results
Overall, 124 patients were included. The mean CAVI value and AAC score were 9.5 ± 1.8 and 7.0 ± 8.0, respectively. Clavien–Dindo grade ≥ III postoperative complications were observed in 14 patients (11.3%). CAVI (odds ratio, 1.522 [95% confidence interval, 1.073–2.160], p = 0.019), AAC score (1.083 [1.009–1.163], p = 0.026); and operative time (1.007 [1.003–1.012], p = 0.001) were identified as risk factors for postoperative complications. Based on the optimal cut-off values of CAVI and AAC score, the probability of postoperative complications was 27.8% in patients with abnormal values for both parameters, which was 17.4 times higher than the 1.6% probability of postoperative complications in patients with normal values.
Conclusions
Atherosclerosis, particularly that assessed using CAVI and AAC score, could be a significant predictor of postoperative complications of colorectal surgery in older adults with CRC.
