Application of Two Scoring Systems in Prediction of Postoperative Complications after Radical Resection of Colorectal Cancer

Background Colorectal cancer is a common tumor, and surgery is still one of the main treatment methods. Nowadays the research on surgical treatment of colorectal cancer is very mature, but that of predicting the possibilities of postoperative complications from preoperative and intraoperative status is scarce. Objective To investigate the predictive value of POSSUM system and aCCI index in postoperative complications after radical resection of colorectal cancer. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 118 patients performed colorectal cancer operation in the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from June 2016 to September 2020. They were divided into complication group (n=42) and non-complication group (n=76) according to the incidence of postoperative complications. Spearman rank correlation was used to explore the relationship between postoperative complications after radical resection of colorectal cancer and clinical indicators. ROC curve was used to evaluate the predict
