Colorectal Surgery in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Colorectal surgery in patients with liver cirrhosis poses a significant challenge due to the associated peri-operative morbidity and mortality risks. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the outcomes in this cohort of patients following colorectal surgery. METHODS: The PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases and references were searched up to October 2022 using the PRISMA guidelines. The data collated included: patient demographics, pathology or type of colorectal operation performed, severity of liver cirrhosis, post-operative complication rates, mortality rates and prognostic factors. A quality assessment of included studies was performed with the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS: Sixteen studies reporting the outcomes of colorectal surgery in patients with liver cirrhosis were identified, including the results of 8646 patients. The indications, pathologies and/or type of operations varied. The overall complication rate ranged from 29 to 75%, minor complication ranged 14.5-37% and major complication ranged 6.7-59.3%. The mortality rates ranged from 0 to 37%. CONCLUSION: Colorectal surgery in patients with liver cirrhosis still carries considerable morbidity and mortality rates. This group of patients needs to be managed in a multidisciplinary setting to achieve excellent outcomes. Future research should focus on uniform definitions to enable interpretable outcomes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
