Abstract

Background: Preoperative anemia was associated with a higher incidence of postoperative complications and prolonged length of stay (LOS), especially in coloretal cancer. Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with preoperative anemia in colorectal cancer. Method: An observational study in the patients who underwent elective colorectal cancer surgery between December 2022 to June 2023 at University Medical Cencer of Ho Chi Minh City. Results: This study included 100 patients, 50 males (50%), 50 females (50 %), median age: 59,9 ± 13,4 years. The prevalence of preoperative anemia was 48%. Among these patients, mild, moderate and severe preoperative anemia were 50%, 31% and 19% respectively. The multi-variable binary logistic regression analysis showed that ASA III (OR:2,70, CI:1,02-7,19) and colonic tumor (OR:5,08, CI:1,46-17,6) were significantly associated with preoperative anemia. Conclusion: The prevalence of preoperative anemia in colorectal cancer remained high. Patients with colon cancer or classsified ASA III should be concerned about preoperative anemia and optimized this condition before surgery.
