Evaluation of the Predictive Nature of the Postoperative CRP on Postoperative Recovery in Patients Undergoing Colorectal Resection (CRP-Track)

Colic and rectal resection represents a majority of hospitalizations in visceral surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic of inflammatory markers dosage (CRP, procalcitonin and venous lactate) on the postoperative recovery after colorectal surgery and on the length of stay.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Upper age to 18 years
  • Planned hospital stay for a colonic resection with anastomosis without permanent or temporary digestive bypass
  • Patient with pre-operative CRP lower or egal to 172 mg/L
  • No opposition at the participation of the study
  • Expected patient return home after surgery (or convalescent home or not medicalized institution)

Exclusion criteria

  • Patient under guardianship
  • Protected or private patient freedom
  • Minor patient
  • Colectomy surgery with digestive bypass or digestive anastomosis
  • Complex combined surgery (significantly intestinal resection associated, another surgical procedure that can interfere with postoperative CRP)
  • General inflammatory disease susceptive to modify dosage values
  • Anti-inflammatory therapy (AINS/ corticosteroids/ immunosuppressive)
  • Patient unable to understand the study

Primary outcomes

  1. C-reactive Protein Rate

    Time frame: 5 postoperative days

    Comparison C-reactive protein levels < 172 mg/l at 3 post operative day with composite endpoint postoperative recovery (fever, absence of pain >2, intestinal gas transit and patient autonomy for mobility and body care) at 5 post operative day.
