Sarcopenia As a Determinant Prognostic Factor After Surgery Among Patients with Colorectal Cancer
A non-statistically significant association was found between sarcopenia and postoperative complications in CRC patients. Sarcopenia does not predict postoperative severe complications, anastomotic leakage, infectious complications, or ileus or intra-abdominal bleeding. Emergent surgeries and age >60 years were associated with more postoperative complications.
