Urgency Index and Preoperative Index: Prediction of Anastomotic Leakage in Patients Operated For Colorectal Cancer Treatment

Abstract: Background: Several tools are available for predicting the risk of anastomotic leakage (AL) in patients undergoing colectomy for colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. However, these prognostic indexes have limitations in applicability and efficiency. Aim: Developing validated, efficient and easily applicable tools to help physicians predict the risk of AL. Methods: From a meta-analysis and a retrospective cohort, risk factors associated with the development of AL were used to construct and validate tw… Show more

“…The application is divided into two indexes, previously validated [15], one recommended for urgency because it has fewer variables (four), and another for elective surgeries, with 13 variables. The two scales are easier to use than the scale constructed by Rojas-Machado et al [6], which has many variables (23), some of which are difficult to obtain, requiring prior examinations.…”

“…The Urgency Index showed sensitivity of 81.24%, specificity of 75.8%, area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.841 (95% CI: 0.742-0.939) and accuracy of 76.24% [14]. Furthermore, the Preoperative Index revealed 85.56% of specificity, 50% sensitivity, 0.699 AUC, 83.66% accuracy, 24.24% positive predictive value and 95.27% negative predictive value [15]. The probability equation:…”
