Anastomotic integrity after operations for large-bowel cancer: a multicentre study.
Open accessAbstract
Clinically evident anastomotic dehiscence was studied in 1466 patients who had undergone resection of a large-bowel adenocarcinoma. The overall incidence of anastomotic leakage was 13%, but the incidence varied between surgeons (range 0.5% to over 30%). Morbidity and mortality were significantly higher in those patients in whom the anastomosis failed to heal primarily. If these results are extrapolated to the national level, it should be possible by achieving results closer to those in patients without leakage to reduce overall post-operative mortality after resection of large-bowel cancer by 2% and to achieve an appreciable reduction in morbidity. Both factors are clinically important and, taken together, could result in appreciable saving of revenue.

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.
