The C reactive protein to plasma albumin ratio values was found to have lower power than P-POSSUM,CR-POSSUM and ACPGBI-CRC.CONCLUSION: Although scoring systems are useful in predicting morbidity and mortality in colorectal patients, they are difficultto use in practice since they include many parameters. that the findings obtained in this study suggest that the CRP/ALB ratio, whichcan be calculated without any additional cost, may help the clinician predict mortality and especially morbidity.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:BACKGROUND: This study aims to demonstrate the sensitivity and specificity of C-reactive protein to plasma albumin (CRP/ALB)ratio in predicting morbidity and mortality in patients operated for colorectal cancer followed up in the intensive care unit by comparingit with current scoring systems.METHODS: The data of patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer and hospitalized in the intensive care unit between2015–2018 with available data were retrospectively analyzed in this study.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The CRP/ALB ratio, the physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) prepared for both gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery, and theAssociation of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI-CRC) scoring system prepared for colorectal patients, werecompared to determine their success in predicting mortality and morbidity.RESULTS: A total of 119 patients were included in this study.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: This study aims to demonstrate the sensitivity and specificity of C-reactive protein to plasma albumin (CRP/ALB)ratio in predicting morbidity and mortality in patients operated for colorectal cancer followed up in the intensive care unit by comparingit with current scoring systems.METHODS: The data of patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer and hospitalized in the intensive care unit between2015–2018 with available data were retrospectively analyzed in this study. The CRP/ALB ratio, the physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) prepared for both gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery, and theAssociation of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI-CRC) scoring system prepared for colorectal patients, werecompared to determine their success in predicting mortality and morbidity.RESULTS: A total of 119 patients were included in this study. Mortality was observed in nine patients and morbidity was observed in38 patients. When compared with P-POSSUM, which is the only scoring system showing morbidity, the CRP/ALB ratio was found tohave a high prediction accuracy. The C reactive protein to plasma albumin ratio values was found to have lower power than P-POSSUM,CR-POSSUM and ACPGBI-CRC.CONCLUSION: Although scoring systems are useful in predicting morbidity and mortality in colorectal patients, they are difficultto use in practice since they include many parameters. that the findings obtained in this study suggest that the CRP/ALB ratio, whichcan be calculated without any additional cost, may help the clinician predict mortality and especially morbidity.

Özet

AMAÇ: Bu çalışmada, kolorektal kanser nedeniyle ameliyat edilen ve yoğun bakımda takip edilen hastalarda, C-reaktif proteinin plazma albüminine oranının (CRP/ALB), güncel skorlama sistemleri ile karşılaştırılarak, morbidite ve mortaliteyi ön görmedeki sensitivite ve spesifitesini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Kliniğimizde 2015–2018 yılları arasında verilerine ulaşılabilen kolorektal kanser nedeniyle ameliyat olan ve yoğun bakımda yatan hastaların verileri geriye dönük incelendi. CRP/ALB, hem gastrointestinal hemde kolorektal cerrahi için hazırlanan, physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) ve kolorektal hastalar için hazırlanan “Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland” (ACPGBI-CRC) skorlama sistemlerinin mortalite ve morbidite ön görmedeki başarıları karşılaştırıldı. BULGULAR: Toplam 119 hasta çalışmada değerlendirilmeye alındı. Hastaların dokuzunda mortalite, 38’inde morbidite olduğu görüldü. Morbiditeyi gösteren tek skorlama sistemi olan P-POSSUM ile kıyaslandığında CRP/ALB oranının daha yüksek bir doğrulukla ön görüsü olduğu bulundu. Mortaliteyi göstermede, CRP/ALB değerinin P-POSSUM, CR-POSSUM ve ACPGBI-CRC’ye oranla daha zayıf olduğu tespit edildi. TARTIŞMA: Skorlama sistemleri kolorektal hastalarda morbidite ve mortaliteyi tahmin etmede kullanışlı olsa dahi pratikte çok fazla parametre içerdikleri için kullanımları zordur. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, ek maliyet getirmeden hesaplanabilecek CRP/ALB oranının mortalite ve özellikle morbiditeyi tahmin etmede klinisyene yardımcı olabileceğini düşünüyoruz.
