Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) is a common complication of anus-preserving surgery for colorectal cancer, which seriously affects the daily life of patients.
In order to reduce the incidence and severity of LARS, while improving the quality of life of patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.
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.
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.
Multiple independent risk factors for LARS were identified in the study. The accuracy of the LARS prediction model established was 0.808.
The LARS prediction model in this study can implement perioperative precision nursing and improve the quality of life of LARS patients.
The LARS prediction model would enable the implementation of perioperative precision nursing interventions to improve patient quality of life.
