ERAS failure and major complications in elective colon surgery: Common risk factors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Proper implementation and practice of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol streamlines perioperative management to its optimum, resulting in fewer complications and lower costs. This study aims to identify potential risk factors for the failure of ERAS and for major postoperative complications in patients with elective colon resection.

Materials and methods

This was a single center retrospective analysis including all consecutive patients for elective colon resection during June 2017 - June 2019. All patients were treated within an upgraded ERAS program.

Results

908 patients were included. Median ERAS compliance was 67%. Over 70% compliance was associated with a significantly lower median complication index and a shorter median hospital stay a
