<p>This study aimed to analyze the incidence and risk factors of acute anastomotic leak (AL) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Active COVID-19 was evaluated as a risk factor of acute AL. A retrospective multicenter analysis was performed on 390 patients with CRC between April 2020 and October 2024.

摘要

This study aimed to analyze the incidence and risk factors of acute anastomotic leak (AL) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Active COVID-19 was evaluated as a risk factor of acute AL. A retrospective multicenter analysis was performed on 390 patients with CRC between April 2020 and October 2024. Patients were divided into acute AL (n = 27) and no acute AL (no AL) (n = 363) groups. In the acute AL group, there were 24 (88.8%) men and three (11.2%) women, with a median age of 63 (65–67) years. Twenty-seven patients in both groups had a previous COVID-19 infection and 15 patients (55.5%) who complained of COVID-19 had AL. The incidence of clinical AL was 6.9% (27/390), of which 11.1% (3/27) and 88.9% (24/27) were grade B and C, respectively. 24/27 (88.9%) had free AL with peritonitis requiring surgical re-intervention. Multivariate analysis showed that active COVID-19 infection (OR = 176, 95% CI 14.27–2172.57, p < 0.001) and serum albumin level < 3 g/dl (OR = 16.249, 95% CI 1.033–255.544, p = 0.04) were associated risk predictors of AL, while the laparoscopic approach (OR = 0.032, 95% CI 0.002–0.434, p = 0.01) and splenic flexure mobilization (OR = 0.022, 95% CI 0.003–4.844, p = 0.02) were protective. The incidence of AL after CRC surgery did not increase during or after the COVID-19 pandemic. Active COVID-19 and serum albumin levels < 3 g/dl were associated risk factors for AL, while the laparoscopic approach and splenic flexure mobilization were protective.
