Benign gallbladder disease is a risk factor for colorectal cancer, but cholecystectomy is not: A propensity score matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies reported controversial results on the relationship between cholecystectomy (CHE) and colorectal cancer (CRC). We hypothesized that gallbladder disease (GBD), instead of cholecystectomy, increased the risk of CRC. We aimed to investigate the incidence of benign gallbladder disease (BGBD) and CHE in CRC patients and local adults undergoing annual health examination by analyzing large data from a tertiary hospital in southwest China.

Methods

A propensity score matching (PSM) analyzed, retrospective study from January 1, 2013, to August 31, 2020, including 7,471 pathologically confirmed CRC patients and 860,160 local annual health examination adults in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, was conducted. The prevalence of BGBD
