Risk factors for faecal incontinence after rectal cancer treatment
Abstract
Background: Low anterior resection (LAR) may result in faecal incontinence. This study aimed to identify risk factors for long-term faecal incontinence after total mesorectal excision (TME) with or without preoperative radiotherapy (PRT). Methods: Between 1996 and 1999, patients with operable rectal cancer were randomized to TME with or without PRT. Eligible patients who underwent LAR were studied retrospectively at 2 years (399 patients) and 5 years (339) after TME. Results: At 5 years after surgery faecal incontinence was reported by 61·5 per cent of patients who had PRT and 38·8 per cent of those who did not (P < 0·001). Excessive blood loss and height of the tumour were associated with long-term faecal incontinence, but only in patients treated with PRT. Conclusion: Faecal incontinence is likely to occur after PRT and TME, especially when the perineum is irradiated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
