Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Aim of the study: In this pilot study lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) levels were assessed as a possible risk factor for development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and infectious and inflammatory complications in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients after surgery.Material and methods: For LBP determination venous blood was taken 1 hour before the surgery and 72 hours after it.All patients were stratified by the presence or absence of acute bowel obstruction (ABO), SIRS and complications.Results: 36 patients with CRC participated in the study.The LBP level before surgery was 879.8 ± 221.8 ng/ml (interquartile range (IQR) 749.3-1028.8); on the 3 rd day it was 766.5 ± 159.4 ng/ml (IQR 669.5-847.6),which was a statistically significant decrease (p = 0.004).A decrease in LBP level by more than 280 ng/ml increases the probability of SIRS and complications in operated CRC patients (OR 6.6, 95% CI: 1.1-40.9and OR 12.0, 95% CI: 1.8-80.4,respectively).In patients with ABO in the presence of SIRS, the LBP value decreased more than in those without SIRS (p = 0.046).Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the LBP level in the operated CRC patients tends to decrease on the 3 rd day after surgery.A bigger decrease in LBP level increases the probability of SIRS and postoperative infectious and inflammatory complications.Therefore, further studies with larger numbers of patients are required.
