Prognosis of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer in middle-aged patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prognosis of middle-aged patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) treated by laparoscopic resection (LR) is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the survival outcomes of LR compared with open resection (OR) for middle-aged patients with CRC.

Patients and methods

This retrospective cohort study used the data from a database of all consecutive colorectal resections performed between January 2009 and December 2017. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to handle the selection bias based on age, gender, body mass index, tumour location, AJCC stage and admission year. Univariate and multivariate COX regression model was used to identify risk factors of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).

Results

After PSM, 154 patients were included
