Abstract
All adult patients 18 years old and above who underwent gastrointestinal, pancreatic and hepatic cancer from January 1, 2010 to July 30, 2014 were included. Variables with p value < 0.20 in the univariate analysis were included in the multivariate analysis. Logistic regression techniques were used for model development in order to obtain a specific score and an equation. Independent prognosis factors emerging from these logistic regression models were used to develop the scoring system to determine the best cut-off score in predicting in-hospitality morbidity. Out off 142 patients who developed complications post-operatively, univariate analysis revealed that age (p=.001), abnormal hemoglobin (p=0.0592), WBC (p=0.001), serum creatinine (p=0.007), serum sodium (p=0.018), serum potassium (p=0.0013) and serum albumin (p< 0.0001) were more prone to develop complications post-operatively. On multivariate analysis, results showed that only age ≥ 75 years (p value = 0.002), low serum albumin (p value = 0.00), abnormal ECG findings (p value = 0.036) and emergency surgery (p value = 0.000) were only significant associated with morbidity. The equation was formulated using the regression analysis and best cut-off score was determined to be at 1.4.
