Postoperative decrease of serum albumin predicts short-term complications in patients undergoing gastric cancer resection
AIM: To find an accurate and simple predictor for postoperative short-term complications after gastrectomy. METHODS: Two hundred and twenty-three patients undergoing gastric cancer resection between October 1, 2015 and September 30, 2016 were enrolled in this study. Univariate and multivariate analy...

description | AIM: To find an accurate and simple predictor for postoperative short-term complications after gastrectomy. METHODS: Two hundred and twenty-three patients undergoing gastric cancer resection between October 1, 2015 and September 30, 2016 were enrolled in this study. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify risk factors for complications after gastrectomy. The cutoff values and diagnostic accuracy were examined by receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS: Sixty-two (27.8%) patients had short-term complications after gastric cancer resection. The postoperative decrease in serum albumin (∆ALB) was an independent risk factor for complications (OR = 17.957, 95%CI: 6.073-53.095, P < 0.001). The cutoff value was 14.0% and the area under the curve was higher than that of C-reactive protein on postoperative day 3 (area under the curve: 0.806 vs 0.709). Patients with ∆ALB ≥ 14.0% were more likely to have short-term complications after gastrectomy (46.7% vs 5.0%, P < 0.001), prolonged hospital stay (17.2 ± 10.8 d vs 14.1 ± 4.2 d, P = 0.007) and higher comprehensive complication index (P < 0.001) than those with ∆ALB < 14.0%. CONCLUSION: Postoperative ∆ALB with a cutoff of 14.0% can be used to recognize patients who have high risk of short-term complications following gastric cancer resection. |
