Is life-support intervention use associated with adverse short-term outcomes in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery?
Patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery
Life-support intervention in the intensive care unit
Adverse short-term outcomes
Life-support intervention use after gastrointestinal cancer surgery is increasing and serves as a strong marker of postoperative severity and adverse short-term outcomes.
After gastrointestinal cancer surgery, intensive care unit use declined while life-support intervention use increased, indicating more selective concentration of higher-acuity postoperative care. Life-support intervention use was strongly associated with adverse short-term outcomes and may serve as a marker of postoperative severity to inform perioperative risk stratification and critical-care resource planning.
