Pursuing Better Outcomes in Obstructive Colorectal Cancer Surgery: A New Predictive Scoring System for Immediate Complications and Optimization of Hospital Stay

This scoring system can serve as an essential tool for healthcare providers to identify at-risk patients, optimize resource allocation, and ultimately enhance patient recovery and outcomes.

Further validation in diverse populations and settings is needed to confirm the scoring system's generalizability and utility.
