Risk stratification and outcomes of women undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cytoreduction for ovarian cancer is associated with substantial morbidity. We examined the outcome of patients undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer to determine if there are sub-groups of patients who may benefit from alternative treatments.

Methods

The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used to identify women who underwent surgery for ovarian cancer from 2005-2012. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the effect of age, race, functional status, ASA class, preoperative albumin and performance of extended cytoreductive procedures on morbidity, mortality and resource utilization.

Results

A total of 2870 women were identified. The perioperative complication rate increased from 9.5% in women <50years, to 13.4% in
