Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate perioperative factors, including nutritional status and sarcopenia on shortterm postoperative complications, determine the risk factors for postoperative complications, and clarify potential preoperative interventions and optimal surgical procedures to improve short-term outcomes in elderly patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients and Methods: This retrospective, single-centre cohort study analysed the factors and short-term postoperative complications of CRC in a cohort of 101 patients aged >= 80 years who underwent radical resection between 2013 and 2020. Nutritional status was evaluated by calculating the controlling nutritional status. Results: The median age was 83 years, and the frequency of sarcopenia was 39.6%. Short-term postoperative complications occurred in 24 patients. Risk factors for short-term postoperative complications in multivariate analysis were sarcopenia combined with nutritional disorders and open surgical approach. Conclusion: The status of nutrition and sarcopenia must be considered in order to predict and improve postoperative outcomes. If possible, a laparoscopic approach should be selected to prevent poor postoperative outcomes.
