Surgeons can now better identify patients at risk for stoma prolapse after colorectal cancer surgery.
- Age, elevated intra-abdominal pressure, stoma type, and hypoproteinemia are independent risk factors within 6 months post-surgery.
- The study involved 270 patients, with 62 experiencing stoma prolapse.
This predictive model aids in implementing preventive strategies and tailoring patient management.
- It utilizes a training set of 189 and a validation set of 81 patients for reliable outcomes.
