Popis: Abstract The prediction of the risk of developing complications after colorectal surgery for colorectal carcinoma remains imprecise. Body composition measurements on a computed tomography (CT) scan can potentially contribute to a better preoperative risk assessment. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the evidence for the use of body composition measurements on CT scans to predict short‐term complications after colorectal cancer surgery. A literature search (in PubMed, Embase and Web of Science) was performed up to 1 August 2022. Two researchers independently screened the articles, extracted data and assessed the quality of the studies using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. The primary outcome measure was the occurrence of complications within 30 days after surgery. Meta‐analysis was conducted using a random‐effects model to synthesize a pooled odds ratio (OR). The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021281010). Forty‐five articles with a total of 16 537 patients were included. In total, 26 body composition measures were investigated: 8 muscle‐related measures, 11 adipose tissue measures, 4 combined muscle and adipose tissue measures, and 3 other measures. These were investigated as potential predictors for more than 50 differently defined postoperative complications. Meta‐analysis was only possible for two measurements and showed that higher amounts of visceral fat increase the risk of developing overall complications (OR: 2.52 [1.58–4.00], P
