Influence of visceral fat area on perioperative indicators and short-term prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer
Objective To investigate the effect of visceral fat area (VFA) on perioperative related indi-cators and short-term prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods Clinical data of 102 pa-tients who underwent laparoscopic radical surgery for CRC in the First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College from September 2020 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent preopera-tive abdominal CT examination,and the transverse CT images at the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3) were selected.VFA was measured using Slice-O-Matic software,and patients were divided into the high VFA group (VFA≥100 cm2) and the low VFA group (VFA<100 cm2) based on the measurement results.Clinical data,patho-logical data,surgical data,postoperative complications,and perioperative coagulation and inflammation indicators were collected.Results Compared with the low VFA group,the high VFA group had higher BMI,longer hospital stay,greater intraoperative blood loss,and fewer lymph node dissections (P<0.05).The WBC and PCT lev-els before and after surgery in the high VFA group were higher than those in the low VFA group (P<0.05). Compared with preoperative levels,WBC,C-reactive protein (CRP),PCT,plasma prothrombin time (PT), plasma fibrinogen (FIB),and international standardized ratio (INR) increased and PLT decreased in both groups after surgery,the differences were statistically significance (P<0.05);Compared with preoperative conditions,the activated partial prothrombin time (APTT) in the high VFA group and the thrombin time (TT) decreased in the low VFA group decreased after surgery,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The total incidence of postoperative complications (21.2％) and the incidence of incision compli-cations (15.4％) in the high VFA group were higher than that in the low VFA group (4.0％,2.0％),the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Colorectal cancer patients with high VFA during the perioperative period exhibit higher levels of inflammation indicators and poorer prognosis.
