Description
Summary:Abstract Background Postoperative ileus is a common problem after colorectal surgery. The aim of the study was to investigate the incidence and risk factors for prolonged postoperative ileus (POI) after colectomy for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Method Consecutive patients who underwent colorectal resection for IBD vs. colorectal cancer (CRC) patients under enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol were retrospectively analyzed. Primary assessment endpoint is the incidence of prolonged POI (> 4 days); secondary endpoints were GI-2 recovery (time to first toleration of solid food and first bowel movement), nasogastric tube re-insertion, and postoperative length of stay. Risk factors for prolonged POI in IBD patients were assessed by multiple logistic regression analysis with p-score matching. Results The incidence of prolonged POI was higher in IBD vs. CRC group (28.8 vs. 14.8%, P < 0.001). Patients with IBD had a longer time to GI-2 recovery (4.8±2.1 vs 3.7 ± 1.4 d, P < 0.001), postoperative length of stay (10.7 ± 6.2 vs. 7.9 ± 5.3 d, P < 0.001), higher incidence of nasogastric tube re-insertion (9.8 vs. 4.0%, P = 0.02). After propensity-score matching analysis, the differences were still significant. Preoperative steroid use > 20mg/d (OR = 2.19, P =0.048), hypo-albuminemia (
