NCT04397627

Brief Summary

Prospective multicenter observational no-profit study evaluating the impact of ERAS program items adherence rates on patient-reported outcomes (PRO) and return to intendend oncologic therapy (RIOT) after colorectal resection. Prospective enrollment from November 2020 to October 2021 in 60 Italian surgical centers. All patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery with anastomosis will be included in a prospective database after written informed consent. A total of 3,000 patients is expected based on a mean of 50 cases per center.

    Before the operation, postoperative day 5, 4 to 6 weeks after the operation

  • Change in patient-reported outcome measure #2; Health Questionnaire: MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for gastrointestinal surgery patients (MDASI-GI)

    Specific quality of life questionnaire for patients submitted to GI surgery: based on 24 questions with scores ranging from 0 (best) to 10 (worst); total score from 0 (best) to 240 (worst)

    Before the operation, postoperative day 5, 4 to 6 weeks after the operation

  • Change in patient-reported outcome measure #3; Health Questionnaire Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Colorectal® (FACT-C)

    Specific quality of life questionnaire for patients with colorectal cancer. Scores ranging form 0 (worst) to 144 (best).

    Before the operation, postoperative day 5, 4 to 6 weeks after the operation

  • Return to intended oncologic therapy (RIOT)

    Number of patients eligible for adjuvant therapy after surgery for colorectal cancer that receive appropriate treatment starting within 8 weeks after the operation

    8 weeks after the operation

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Anastomotic leakage rate

    within 8 weeks from operation

  • Overall morbidity rate

    within 8 weeks from operation

  • Major morbidity rate

    within 8 weeks from operation
