Predictive factors for intrathoracic anastomotic leakage and postoperative mortality after esophageal cancer resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Esophageal cancer is currently one of the high-risk malignant tumors worldwide, posing a serious threat to human health. This study aimed to analyse the causes of postoperative mortality and intrathoracic anastomotic leakage(IAL) after esophagectomy.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 172 patients with esophageal cancer resection and focused on the preoperative and postoperative indicators. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify factors affected IAL and evaluated the potential factors on postoperative mortality. The Kaplan-Meier curve was applied to evaluate the effect of leakage on postoperative mortality after propensity score matching.

Results

Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that infection and high B
