Nomogram to Predict Postoperative Intra-abdominal Septic Complications After Bowel Resection and Primary Anastomosis for Crohn’s Disease
This study was conducted in a tertiary center.
PATIENTS:
Data of 949 Crohn’s disease-related primary bowel resections and anastomosis from January 2011 to December 2017 were collected.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Primary outcomes were prevalence of intra-abdominal septic complications.
RESULTS:
Overall prevalence of intra-abdominal septic complications after Crohn’s disease surgery was 11.6%. Predictors included preoperative C-reactive protein level ≥40 mg/L (OR = 3.545), preoperative glucocorticoids (OR = 1.829) and infliximab use (OR = 3.365), upper GI involvement (OR = 2.072), and hypoalbuminemia (albumin level
