Title: Clinical significance of POSSUM scoring system in predicting the surgical risk of the colonrectal cancer
Abstract: Objective To estimate the surgical risk of the colonrectal cancer patients by using physiological and operative score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity(POSSUM) scoring system,and then to prove the reliability of the scoring system,and to analyze the multiple single factors of the surgical risk in order to acquire therapy reference.Methods The POSSUM scoring system was performed on 101 colonrectal cancer patients,and the actual complications and mortality were analyzed and compared with the predicting rate.The multiple single factors that were possibly linked with the complications were analyzed.Results The predicting complication rate and mortality were 58.03% and 11.15%,respectively,which was close to the actual results(40.59%) in 101 patients in complication rate,but the predicting mortality rate was higher than actual results(2.97%).Single factor analysis revealed that 4 single factors had the relationship to the complications.Conclusion POSSUM scoring system can predict the postoperative complications of the colonrectal cancer patients.but the postoperative mortality rate should combined other risk-scoring system to predict.Clinical physicians should pay an attention to these 4 single factors of surgical risk.
