PROGNOSIS OF POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS IN COLORECTAL CANCER PATIENTS
Nowadays, prediction in colorectal surgery is a very useful instrument in managing the health care system in hospitals. Search for reliable risk factors of postoperative complications allows to reveal complication risk group of patients and to decrease hospital stay for patients with a good prognosis. C-reactive protein is well known as a sensitive and dynamic marker of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. This study evaluates the feasibility of using of C-reactive protein as predictor of septic postoperative complications. Analysis of serum CRP in early postoperative period is shown to predict septic postoperative complications in colorectal cancer patients.
