ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) is a common complication of anus-preserving surgery for colorectal cancer, which seriously affects the daily life of patients.
Research motivation
In order to reduce the incidence and severity of LARS, while improving the quality of life of patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.
Research objectives
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between LARS and patient quality of life in a large cohort of patients and to identify perioperative clinicopathological factors that can predict the occurrence of LARS.
Research methods
This was a longitudinal retrospective cohort study using a hospital-based survey. In this study, the LARS score questionnaire and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life and Colorectal Cancer module questionnaires were completed.
Research results
Multiple independent risk factors for LARS were identified in the study. The accuracy of the LARS prediction model established was 0.808.
Research conclusions
The LARS prediction model in this study can implement perioperative precision nursing and improve the quality of life of LARS patients.
Research perspectives
The LARS prediction model would enable the implementation of perioperative precision nursing interventions to improve patient quality of life.
