Summary: | Background
Although many reports have shown that enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs improve the perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing colorectal surgery, the prevalence of early acute kidney injury (AKI) after surgery in such patients requires attention. Protective roles of the female sex in terms of chronic kidney disease and progression of ischemic renal injury have been described in many studies. We thus explored whether a sex difference was evident in terms of postoperative AKI in a colorectal ERAS setting.
Methods
From January 2017 to August 2019, 453 patients underwent laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection in an enhanced recovery program. Of these, 217 female patients were propensity score (PS)-matched with 236 male patients. Then, 215 patients of either sex were compared in terms of postoperative renal function and complications.
Results
Among the PS-matched patients, the incidence of AKI was significantly higher in male than female patients (24.2% vs. 9.8%,
