Risk Factors for Postoperative Complications Following Resection of Colorectal Liver Metastases and the Impact on Long-Term Survival: A Population-Based National Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative complications (POCs) following resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are common. The objective of this study was to evaluate risk factors for developing complications and their impact on survival considering prognostic factors of the primary tumor, metastatic pattern and treatment in a well-defined national cohort.

Methods

Patients treated with resection for CRLM that was also radically resected for their primary colorectal cancer (diagnosed in 2009-2013) were identified in Swedish national registers. Liver resections were categorized according to extent of surgery (Category I-IV). Risk factors for developing POCs as well as prognostic impact of POCs were evaluated in multivariable analyses. A subgroup analysis of minor resections was perfo
