Clinical predictive efficacy of C-reactive protein for diagnosing infectious complications after gastric surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the popularization of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), identifying patients with complications before discharging becomes important. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of C-reactive protein (CRP) in predicting infectious complications after gastrectomy.

Methods

Patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy at Beijing Cancer Hospital from March 2017 to April 2018 were enrolled in the training set. Complications were prospectively registered. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of CRP via evaluating the area under the curve (AUC). Patients who had CRP tested on postoperative day (POD) 5 and accepted gastrectomy from April to December 2018 were included in the validation set to v
