The influence of steatosis on the short- and long-term results of resection of liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Unlabelled

We aimed to establish whether the presence of hepatic steatosis influences outcome after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CLM).

Patients and methods

Patients operated between 1990 and 2014 were divided into four groups based on the degree of hepatic steatosis. The association between hepatic steatosis and outcome was analyzed, using a multivariate and a propensity score case-match analysis.

Results

No significant differences were observed between patients with and without steatosis in either mortality or morbidity in the complete series or after matching (3.2% vs. 3.5%/p = 0.845) (32.3% vs 31.4%/p = 0.802). Five-year survival in patients with and without steatosis were 56.5% and 46.5% respectively (p = 0.046). The steatosis had a significant protec
