Reduction rate of C-reactive protein as an early predictor of postoperative complications and a reliable discharge indicator after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Conclusion: CRP concentration reduction rates between POD 3 and 5 and between POD 2 and 3 were the best combination factors to predict PCs and indicate a safe discharge after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. PMID: 31384611 [PubMed]
