Popis: | AIM: Bowel dysfunction was assessed after low anterior resection with and without neoadjuvant therapy (NT) for rectal cancer using a novel symptom-based scoring system correlated with quality of life. METHOD: We identified all patients who underwent curative resection for rectal cancer in Denmark between 2001 and 2007. A questionnaire on bowel function and quality of life, including the recently validated 'Low Anterior Resection Syndrome Score' (LARS-score; range 0-42) was administered to recurrence-free patients in 2009. We used multivariate analysis to examine the association between major LARS (LARS-score≥30) and a number of patient and treatment-related factors. RESULTS: Of 1087 eligible patients, 980 agreed to participate, and a final 938 patients were included in the analysis. Major LARS was observed in 41%. The use of NT (OR=2.48; 95% CI 1.73-3.55), long course chemoradiotherapy vs short-course radiotherapy (OR=0.90; 95% CI 0.44-1.87), total mesorectal excision (TME) vs partial mesorectal excision (PME) (OR=2.31; 95% CI 1.69-3.16), anastomotic leakage (OR=2.06; 95% CI 0.93-4.55), age≤64 years at surgery (OR=1.90; 95% CI 1.43-2.51), and female gender (OR=1.35; 95% CI 1.02-1.79) were associated with major LARS. No association was found between major LARS and the interval since surgery (OR=0.78; 95% CI 0.59-1.04) or neorectal reconstruction (colonic pouch vs. straight colorectal or side-to-end anastomosis (OR=0.96; 95% CI 0.63-1.46). CONCLUSION: Severe bowel dysfunction is a frequent long-term outcome after resection for rectal cancer. Use of NT, regardless of a long or short course protocol, and TME (as opposed to PME) are strong independent risk factors for major LARS. This article is protected by copyright.
